42 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS
To the Officers and Members of the Most Worshipful
Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada, in the
Province of Ontario.
My Brethren:
It is a great honour and a distinct pleasure for me,
as Grand Master, to address you, my brethren, at this
121st Annual Communication of our Grand Lodge at the
end of my first year of office. The Deputy Grand Master
in our Grand Jurisdiction is not required to give a report
to Grand Lodge (maybe we should change this R.W. Bro.
Davies!) so I had not reported to Grand Lodge in 1974
or 1975 and thus have a great deal to tell you, as briefly
as I can — one of my fellow Grand Masters took exactly
2 hours to do so and I promise that I shall not follow
his example.
May I say that the past year has been a very reward-
ing, fulfilling period and an extremely busy one. Every-
where I have been, both in and out of our Grand Jurisdic-
tion, and whether in Craft Lodge assemblies or with our
concordant bodies, I have been honoured and treated with
utmost courtesy and gracious hospitality. For this I shall
always be eternally grateful. I welcome so many disting-
uished guests to this Grand Communication and hope that
they will enjoy our sessions, Masonic and social, as much
as I and my representatives have when visiting them. I
am privileged to call each of our guests "friend" as well
as "colleague" and reiterate what I have expressed before
that one of the great joys of Masonry is the number of
exceptionally fine Masonic friends we are privileged to
make in our travels.
I should like to state that any decisions reached
during the past year, any advances or changes made have
been due to a great co-operative effort, with many Masons
having a part in this with their wise counsel — particularly
our very personable and efficient Grand Secretary, M.W.
Bro. J. A. Irvine; the Custodian of the Work, M.W. Bro.
W. K. Bailey; the Deputy Grand Master, R.W. Bro. R. E.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 43
Davies; the other members of the Grand East; the Board
of General Purposes which of course includes all our
District Deputy Grand Masters, and many, many others.
I am indebted to you all, brethren, for the great co-oper-
ation shown in conducting the affairs of this Grand Juris-
diction over the past year.
R.W. Bro. Allan Leal has decided, for personal
reasons, not to let his name stand for re-election to the
Board of General Purposes. May I express to him the
grateful thanks of Grand Lodge for his diligent efforts on
the Board, his fine Chairmanship of the Committee on the
Condition of Masonry, and his continuing work in revising
the Constitution.
I wish also to thank the diligent Metropolitan Past
Masters' Association for their great efforts on our behalf
in the arrangements for this Grand Communication.
NECROLOGY
It is with a great sense of loss that I remind you of
the passing of many zealous and dedicated members of
our Grand Lodge to the Grand Lodge Above, among
whom were :
HARRY LAISHLEY MARTYN
Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction and indeed on
this whole North American Continent suffered a grievous
loss in the passing of M.W. Bro. Harry Laishley Martyn
suddenly on January 20, 1976. He died as he would have
had it, on an evening when he was carrying out Masonic
duties. His loss will be greatly felt by our Grand Lodge,
particularly at this Grand Communication. He was a tower
of strength to the Grand Master in particular with his un-
surpassed knowledge of Masonry and his ready willingness
to offer advice and wise counsel.
His illustrious Masonic career began before discharge
from the Royal Navy when he was initiated, passed and
raised in Leith and Canongate Lodge No. 5, G.R.S., in
44 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Scotland in 1918. In our Grand Jurisdiction he was first
a charter member of St. Clair Lodge, No. 577. He was
Worshipful Master in 1931, elected District Deputy Grand
Master of Toronto District C in 1938, appointed to the
Board of General Purposes in 1943, then elected to office
of Deputy Grand Master in 1955 and was Grand Master
1957-59, an office which he served with outstanding dis-
tinction, with a reputation spread over the whole of this
continent and beyond.
He served Grand Lodge as Custodian of the Work
for fourteen years, was Chairman of many Grand Lodge
Committees and in 1965-67 was President of the Masonic
Relief Association of the United States and Canada. He
was an Honorary Member of a great number of our Craft
Lodges.
M.W. Bro. H. L. Martyn was also very active in
many other branches of Masonry — First Principal of St.
Clair Chapter in 1927 and in 1952 Grand Principal So-
journer of Grand Chapter. He was elected Presiding Pre-
ceptor of Geoffrey de St. Aldemar Preceptory No. 2,
Knights Templar, in 1952, and, later, selected for office in
the Sovereign Great Priory of Canada.
He was T.P.G.M. of Toronto Lodge of Perfection in
1948, and coroneted Honorary 33° — Supreme Council,
A. & A.S.R. in 1951 and accepted into the Royal Order
of Scotland in 1966.
A man of the calibre and stature of Harry L. Martyn,
a man who could truly be called a giant among Masons,
will be sorely missed in our Masonic assemblies and in
the individual lodges, as well as in the hearts of all of us
whose lives were enriched by knowing him and whose
actions were guided by his great knowledge and love of
Masonry and his exceedingly wise counsel.
WILLARD MEREDITH GORDON
An active member of the Grand Lodge Board of
General Purposes for years, Chairman of important Com-
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 45
mittees such as the Condition of Masonry and, latterly, an
Honorary Member of the Board, R.W. Bro. Willard
Gordon was in great demand as a Masonic speaker and
in this role his vast Masonic knowledge, his ready wit
and the unique nature of his addresses will long be re-
membered. We suffered a tremendous loss in his passing
on February 14, 1976.
WILBERT GEORGE WELBY
Past Grand Senior Deacon and present at many of
our Grand Communications as Grand Secretary-General
of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Canada; a
man of sound judgment and great personal charm. Bro.
Welby passed away suddenly, on August 25, 1975, after a
life of devotion and dedication not only to the Craft but to
the principles upon which our institution was founded.
VICTOR M. POLAND
A Past District Deputy Grand Master and an appoint-
ed member of the Board of General Purposes from 1965
to 1969. Bro. Poland passed to the Grand Lodge Above on
July 24, 1975. We will miss him and give thanks to the
Great Architect of the Universe for the many services he
performed on behalf of our Grand Lodge.
HONORARY RANK
In recognition of faithful and efficient work done as
Supervisor of Benevolence I recommend that the Honorary
rank of Past Grand Senior Warden be conferred on V.W.
Bro. James C. Guy who shall hereafter be R.W. Bro. Guy.
PAST RANK
(1) R.W. Bro. F. Harold Waller of Nipissing Centre
was moved to Indonesia for business reasons during
his term of office. I recommend that he be granted
the rank of Past District Deputy Grand Master, and
express our thanks to R.W. Bro. Robert T. Runciman
who completed his term of office.
46 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
(2) R.W. Bro. Stephen Paton was ill during a part of his
term of office as District Deputy Grand Master of
Hamilton District A. I recommend that he be granted
the rank of Past District Deputy Grand Master and
thank R.W. Bro. Harry Greenwood for fulfilling his
duties during his necessary absence.
(3) Wor. Bro. J. Norman W. Hughes was appointed
District Secretary of Hamilton District B. He died
tragically during his term of office and I recommend
that he be granted posthumously the rank of Past
Grand Steward.
(4) Due to an industrial accident Wor. Bro. J. A. M.
Badgerow was not installed Worshipful Master of St.
Clair Lodge, No. 577, Thornhill, until February 3,
1975, and served 10 months until December 1, 1975.
In view of his misfortune and his outstanding service
I recommend he be granted the rank of Past Master.
(5) I recommend rank of Past Master be granted to Wor.
Bro. Donald Perry of Alpha Lodge, No. 384,
Toronto. Because of a change in By-laws Bro. Perry
served only nine months as Worshipful Master; I
congratulate him on the manner in which he has
discharged the responsibilities of his office.
(6) Wor. Bro. Douglas Mitchell of Chesterville Lodge,
No. 320, Chesterville, was indisposed and unable to
attend for installation on June 9, 1975. However,
he was installed as Worshipful Master at the next
regular meeting of the lodge, on September 8, 1975.
He has conducted the affairs of Chesterville Lodge,
No. 320, in a splendid manner and I recommend he
be granted the rank of Past Master.
APPOINTMENT
I was very happy to have had the pleasure of ap-
pointing Wor. Bro. Meldrum H. Legard of Mount Dennis
Lodge, No. 599, Weston, a Grand Steward of the Grand
Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario. I wish to
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 47
thank R.W. Bio. James M. McCrae, District Deputy
Grand Master of Toronto District 2, for attending Mount
Dennis Lodge on March 3, 1976, and performing this
ceremony on my behalf.
I request from Grand Lodge approval of this ap-
pointment and past rank for this worthy brother.
NEW LODGES INSTITUTED
May I extend my sincere greetings and best wishes
to the Worshipful Masters, officers and members of our
two newest lodges. I'm sure we all extend our best wishes
and congratulations.
(1) Cambridge Lodge, U.D., Cambridge, instituted by
R.W. Bro. A. T. Prestwich, District Deputy Grand
Master of Waterloo District, on February 23, 1976.
(2) Friendship Lodge, U.D., Pickering, instituted on
March 10, 1976, by R.W. Bro. N. A. Houston,

retinue of Grand Lodge officers, to have the priv-
ilege of dedicating the new lodge premises of Avon-
more Lodge, No. 452, Avonmore, Ontario, on Oct-
ober 31, 1975. I congratulate the brethren on a job
well done and wish for the Worshipful Master,
officers and members of Avonmore Lodge, No.
452, a long and happy future in the service of the
Craft.
(2) On February 25, 1976, I was particularly pleased
to dedicate our new Central Masonic Temple of
Hamilton along with a great array of Grand Lodge
officers. This Temple has been in the planning for
many years in my own area of Hamilton and will
serve as a great focal point of Masonry in the
Hamilton district.

tary (M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine), and the Grand Secre-
tary Emeritus (M.W. Bro. E. G. Dixon). I am

lightful dinner and an evening of entertainment and
dancing.

VISITATIONS TO OTHER GRAND LODGES
AND MASONIC BODIES
It was particularly pleasurable and very instructive
to attend the Grand Communications of other Grand
Lodges — especially in 1976 when the Grand Lodges
of the United States are having special events to mark
the Bicentennial Celebration of that great country to the
south of us. I thank our Past Grand Masters for attending
some of these when I was unable to be present, as some-
times two or more Grand Lodges scheduled their annual
meetings at the same time.
It was also very pleasant to attend, as your Grand
Master, meetings of other Masonic Bodies. Whether con-
cordant, appendant or attached, the most cordial re-
lations exist between them and our Grand Lodge.
A list of the visitations will be found in Appendix
"A".
RECOGNITION OF 100 YEARS OF ACTIVE
EXISTENCE
Your Grand Master congratulates the following
lodges on having served Masonry and our Grand Jurisdic-

GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET
Our Guest Speaker at the banquet this year is M.W.
Bro. Robert Hinshaw, Past Grand Master and Grand
Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Ohio. We have been
privileged over the years to have a succession of great
speakers at this event (which is extolled at many of the
other Grand Lodges) and this personable and know-
ledgeable orator will undoubtedly uphold and enhance
this image.
WORKSHOPS
There is a growing trend in Ontario to stage Masonic
Workshops on a district level (or staged by several dis-
tricts together) and I heartily approve of these. They
are a fine way of disseminating Masonic information
and act as a sounding board for the ideas and opinions of
the brethren attending. A resume of these workshops
should always be sent to Grand Lodge where some of
the suggestions and conclusions contained may result
in a shaping or modification of Grand Lodge policy.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 55
GRAND LODGE BOOKLETS
May I remind you brethren about these booklets
which are to be given out to petitioners and Masons at
their various stages of advancement. They have been
completely rewritten and revised; Lodge Secretaries
should order copies to be distributed to petitioners and
candidates.
MASONIC FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO
I should like to commend to your attention the
work of The Masonic Foundation of Ontario. The
President, M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, with the Directors
of the Foundation, have set a goal of $500,000 (half
a million dollars) to be attained by 1980 which is the
125th Anniversary of the establishment of our Grand
Lodge. That goal is very worth while striving for as the
interest on the capital sum is used to great advantage in
making grants to students, usually in their senior year of
post secondary school education, when they experience
financial difficulties and in helping to fund research in
multiple sclerosis. It is worthy of note that The Masonic
Foundation of Ontario helps Mason and non-Mason alike.
HISTORY OF GRAND LODGE
To help commemorate the 125th Anniversary of our
Grand Lodge, which will be celebrated in 1980, and with
the concurrence of the Grand East, I have given instruc-
tion that a new History of Freemasonry in Ontario should
be prepared. R.W. Bro. Wallace McLeod, of "Beyond
the Pillars" fame, has graciously consented to chair a
Special Committee to produce such a History. It is ex-
pected that many Masons will be involved in its writing
and publication and it should be the desire of every
Mason in this Grand Jurisdiction to have a copy when
available.
CONCLUSION
The Ancient Landmarks in this Grand Jurisdiction
are ill-defined and, in general, much fewer in number
56 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
than many of our sister Grand Jurisdictions in Canada,
the British Isles or in the United States of America. As
Masonry is indeed a beautiful system of morality and as
the state of the world's morality seems to be approaching
a dangerously low ebb and is ever changing, seemingly
for the worst, it behooves us as active Masons to recall
and uphold these Ancient Landmarks of our Craft
among which are (1) the Brotherhood of man; (2) the
Fatherhood of God; and (3) the Immortality of the
Soul. Even the first of these should be considered to be
controversial. I refer you to Appendix "B" which contains
the Aims and Relationships of the Craft as enunciated by
the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland and Scotland in
1938.
Brotherhood implies Fellowship — a genuine un-
selfish concern for our fellow man and should be perfectly
free of bigotry — it implicitly infers brotherhood with all
men, regardless of race, colour, creed or religion. You
are all aware, I'm sure, that if all men felt these true ties
of brotherhood there would be an end to all crime,
whether great or small, and anyone could walk the streets
at night, even in our largest cities, without fear. There
would be an end to class hatred, racial discrimination,
cheating, libel, poverty and many other of the world's
ills. We as Masons are bound to act towards a fellow man
in this great spirit of brotherhood.
It has been said many times over that Masonry is
religious but not a religion. For a man to join our Order
he must have a belief in a Supreme Being — this is a
basic Masonic requirement without which no man can be
admitted a member — The Fatherhood of God. This
Supreme Being may be known by different names
depending on whether the applicant is Christian, Jew,
Mohammedan. Hindu or of any other belief. Our Deputy
Grand Master informs me that on the altar at Jerusalem
there are three Volumes of the Sacred Law — The Bible,
The Torah and The Koran — and the initiate may take
his obligation on whichever volume is meaningful to him.
We as Masons must have an unalterable belief in the
Immortality of the Soul, a life in the great hereafter, an
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 57
eternal existence in what we term the Grand Lodge Above.
If we have hopes of Heaven, we must conduct ourselves
on this earth in such a manner that the All-seeing Eye of
the Almighty will approve or, at least, be willing to forgive
us our sins as not one of us is free of such.
Let us, therefore, brethren, not be swayed by the
changing state of world thought and action, but steadfastly
observe the great moral principles which are our Ancient
Landmarks — the Brotherhood of Man, the Fatherhood
of God and the Immortality of the Soul. If we do, our
great Fraternity will prosper and progress and become an
even more significant influence for good in our communi-
ties, our country and the world itself.
Sincerely and fraternally,
ERIC W. NANCEKIVELL,
Grand Master.

APPENDIX "B"
AIMS AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE CRAFT
In August, 1938, the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland,
and Scotland each agreed upon and issued a statement
identical in terms except that the name of the issuing
Grand Lodge appeared throughout. This statement, which
was entitled "Aims and Relationships of the Craft", was
in the following terms:
1. From time to time the United Grand Lodge of
England has deemed it desirable to set forth in precise
form the aims of Freemasonry as consistently practised
under its Jurisdiction since it came into being as an
organized body in 1717, and also to define the principles
governing its relations with those other Grand Lodges
with which it is in fraternal accord.
2. In view of representations which have been received,
and of statements recently issued which have distorted
or obscured the true objects of Freemasonry, it is once
again considered necessary to emphasize certain funda-
mental principles of the Order.
3. The first condition of admission into, and membership
of, the Order is a belief in the Supreme Being. This is
essential and admits of no compromise.
60 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
4. The Bible, referred to by Freemasons as the Volume
of the Sacred Law, is always open in the Lodges. Every
Candidate is required to take his Obligation on that book
or on the Volume which is held by his particular creed
to impart sanctity to an oath or promise taken upon it.
5. Everyone who enters Freemasonry is, at the outset,
strictly forbidden to countenance any act which may have
a tendency to subvert the peace and good order of society;
he must pay due obedience to the law of any state in
which he resides or which may afford him protection,
and he must never be remiss in the allegiance due to the
Sovereign of his native land.
6. While English Freemasonry thus inculcates in each
of its members the duties of loyalty and citizenship, it
reserves to the individual the right to hold his own opinion
with regard to public affairs. But neither in any Lodge,
nor at any time in his capacity as a Freemason, is he
permitted to discuss or to advance his views on theological
or political questions.
7. The Grand Lodge has always consistently refused to
express any opinion on questions of foreign or domestic
state policy either at home or abroad, and it will not
allow its name to be associated with any action, however
humanitarian it mav appear to be, which infringes its
unalterable policv of standing aloof from every question
affecting the relations between one government and
another, or between political parties, or questions as to
rival theories of government.
8. The Grand Lodee is aware that there do exist Bodies,
styling themselves Freemasons, which do not adhere to
these principles, and while that attitude exists the Grand
Lodge of England refuses absolutely to have any relations
with such Bodies, or to regard them as Freemasons.
9. The Grand Lodge of England is a Sovereign and
independent Body practising Freemasonry only within the
three Degrees and only within the limits defined in its
Constitution as "pure Antient Masonry". It does not
Toronto, Ontario, 1976 61
recognize or admit the existence of any superior Masonic
authority, however styled.
10. On more than one occasion the Grand Lodge has
refused, and will continue to refuse, to participate in
Conferences with so-called International Associations
claiming to represent Freemasonry, which admit to
membership Bodies failing to conform strictly to the
principles upon which the Grand Lodge of England is
founded. The Grand Lodge does not admit any such
claim, nor can its views be represented by any such
Association.
11. There is no secret with regard to any of the basic
principles of Freemasonry, some of which have been
stated above. The Grand Lodge will always consider the
recognition of those Grand Lodges which profess and
practise, and can show that they have consistently pro-
fessed and practised, those established and unaltered
principles, but in no circumstances will it enter into
discussion with a view to any new or varied interpretation
of them. They must be accepted and practised wholeheart-
edly and in their entirety by those who desire to be
recognized as Freemasons by the United Grand Lodge of
England.

62 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master and Members of
Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of the Committee on Deceased Brethren may I
acknowledge the thoughtfulness of Grand Lodge in setting aside
these few moments in the deliberations of this Communication
that we may reflect upon those of our members who have
answered their summons to the Grand Lodge Above and by so
doing, refurbish their memory and pay a lasting and well
deserved tribute for service rendered to the Craft. We pray
for them and for those who mourn.
These were noble Brethren that we could ill-afford to
surrender. May I suggest that these, our deceased Brethren,
entered into a nobler service which is open to citizen and Mason
alike of all classes. However, by their example we are reminded
of certain simple qualifying factors. It requires that we possess
and practise traits that are common among those who are noble.
We must be sympathetic, enthusiastic, of clear vision and free
thought, dedicated to greatness and bigness of service to mankind.
As Milton phrased it:
"Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail
or knock the breast; no weakness, no contempt,
dispraise or blame; nothing but well and fair,
and what may quiet us in a death so noble."
As will be evidenced by the Tablet Pages, our loss among
the elected and appointed Officers of Grand Lodge since we last
met has been extremely heavy. As we remember those who
journeyed with us towards the East, we know that they have
joined the saints, known and unknown, who have testified to the
Glory of God in the midst of worldly darkness, and since no
darkness can extinguish light, their witness has not been in vain.
We'll not forget thee, we who stay
To work a little longer here;
Thy name, thy faith, thy love shall lie
On memory's tablet, bright and clear;
And when o'erwearied by the toil
Of life, our heavy limbs shall be,
We'll come, and one by one lie down
Upon dear mother-earth with thee.
And there we'll slumber by thy side;
There, reunited, 'neath the sod,
We'll wait, nor doubt in His good time
To hear the raising hand of God.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 63
To be translated from the earth,
This land of sorrow and complaints,
To the all-perfect Lodge above,
Whose Master is the King of Saints.
Lamenting the concern of his friend about death, the poet
remarked; "Like this, is human life. We come, our wise men
cannot tell whence. We go, and they cannot tell us whither.
Our flight is brief. Therefore, if there be anyone that can teach
us more about it — in God's name let us hear him".
Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed the thought in these words;
"Don't tell me to get ready to die, I know not what shall be.
The only preparation I can make is by fulfilling my present
duties".
It has been a privilege to be the Chairman of your Com-
mittee on Deceased Brethren and with a hearty concurrence
of my twelve associates, I hasten to express our gratitude to the
Most Worshipful, the Grand Secretary and his genial staff for the
manner in which they assembled the statistics for a portion of this
report. To the lodge secretaries, our sincere thanks for having
despatched the pertinent details pertaining to a brother upon
his demise.
Many of us participating in this memorial tribute to our
Brethren today are entering into the twilight years, some with
trepidation toward the morrow, some with an exuberance of energy
to fulfil obligations, share experience and knowledge with others.
Yes, my brethren, we all have a dignity to preserve regardless of
our life span in preparation for the mellowing years. In Tenny-
son's "Ulysses" we find a few lines which seem apropos:
"Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note may yet be done . . .
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
In closing, my brethren, join with me in loving memory
and affection as we recall our deceased Brethren who served as
Grand Lodge Officers, faithful stewards of God and brethren
of the Craft.
"Not silent are these hallowed Dead,
A richer eloquence survives.
We have from those who've gone ahead
The inspiration of their lives."

MEMORIAL SERVICE
Grand Chaplain :
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall
I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall
I be afraid? One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I
will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to enquire in His temple. (Ps. 27)
Prayer of Invocation:
Father of mercies and God of all comfort; look in
Thy tender love and understanding upon us. Enable us
to receive comfort, guidance and inspiration from the
Volume of the Sacred Law. Amen.
76 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Psalm 121 (Reading responsively):
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence
cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven
and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that
keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall never slumber
nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon
thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon
by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall
preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy
coming in from this time forth, and even for
evermore.
Prayer:
O God, the God of all goodness and all grace, who
art worthy of a greater love than we can give or under-
stand; fill our hearts, we beseech Thee, with such love
towards Thee, that nothing may seem too hard for us to
do or to suffer in obedience to Thy will; and grant that
thus loving Thee, we may become daily more like unto
Thee, and finally obtain the crown of life which thou hast
promised to those that love Thee.
Amen.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.

Chairman.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and
Members of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada,
in the Province of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
1 have examined the statement of resources of the
Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of
Ontario as at April 30, 1976 and statements of receipts
and disbursements of the General Fund and the com-
bined Memorial and Semi-Centennial Fund for the year
then ended. My examination included a general review of
the accounting procedures and such tests of the accounting
records of your Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary
and other supporting evidence as I considered necessary
in the circumstances.
The securities of the General, Memorial and Semi-
Centennial Funds as set out in the respective schedules
accompanying the Grand Treasurer's Report are held
and certified to under date of May 17, 1976 by the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
In my opinion, these financial statements present
fairly the financial position on a cash basis of the Grand
Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario
as at April 30, 1976 and the receipts and disbursements
for the year then ended in accordance with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent
with that of the preceding year.
Yours fraternally,
A. W. PARISH, F.C.A.,
GRAND TREASURER'S REPORT
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and
Members of Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada,
in the Province of Ontario.
78 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
In presenting the Financial Statements of Grand
Lodge for the past fiscal year, we have some satisfac-
tion in observing that, although our budget anticipated
a small deficit, we actually achieved a modest operating
surplus. For many years it has been our experience to
finance the affairs of Grand Lodge well within our
income and we have thus been able to transfer surpluses
of General Account to Capital Reserves. . These accum-
ulating reserves, which have been continuously invested
in Trustee Securities, at current rates of interest, are
now returning a substantial part of our operating income,
and assisting us in meeting the expanding costs of the
administration of Grand Lodge. In the year under review
our operating surplus has been made possible in part by
increased investment income, larger returns from our
growing Commutation Fund, and the sale of printed
materials whose cost had been charged as expenses in
previous years. In effect we were liquidating a small
portion of our material reserves.
Our Commuted Life Membership Fund has begun
providing an appreciable portion of annual income. The
capital is profitably invested and according to the terms of
its establishment the entire return on these investments and
a restricted percentage of capital are added to the General
Account annually. In the year, over $25,000. was paid
into the Commutation Fund. This is actuarily safe from
the standpoint of Grand Lodge finances, but it may imply
a developing problem for individual lodges.
In previous reports we have subtly cautioned lodges
against making Life Memberships available to their mem-
bers on terms which may prove detrimental to the general
finances of the lodge. Whether these admonitions have
been heeded or even read by lodge finance committees
may be uncertain. The fact is that the annual assessments
of Grand Lodge for over one thousand members were
commuted in the past year. These fees to Grand Lodge are
adequate in the circumstances but we have no way of
knowing whether the lodges have set up capital reserves
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 79
to offset their reduced income with those reserves profit-
ably invested. Until your lodge has obtained competent
actuarial advice, we would suggest that it should main-
tain a Life Membership Reserve Fund equal to ten times
a member's annual dues for each life member on its roll.
These reserves should not be established by depleting
general lodge funds but should be contributed by the life
members or by others on their behalf.
To return to the traditional Treasurer's Report, I
shall spare you the recitation of figures, schedules, ag-
gregates and other details which are fully set out in the
following Financial Statements and will justify your careful
study.
Again I acknowledge with grateful thanks the con-
tinuous help and co-operation of the Grand Secretary
and his staff, the assistance of the Supervisor of Bene-
volence and the benefit of the Auditor of Grand Lodge.
The ready, unselfish and sophisticated counsel of the
Chairman of the Committee on Audit and Finance and
that of his wise predecessor have made the year's duties
a constant pleasure.
Respectfully submitted,
M. CLEEVE HOOPER,
Grand Treasurer.

Turner, and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master,
seconded by M. Wor. Bro. Turner, it was received and
adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
Because of the sudden passing of our beloved Past Grand
Master, M.W. Bro. H. L. Martyn, Chairman of the Committee
on Fraternal Relations, I am submitting this brief report.
We did not receive M.W. Bro. Martyn's files until June
3, 1976, and upon reviewing them we find nothing that requires
immediate attention. Therefore, any outstanding requests for
recognition will be held over until our next Annual Communic-
ation.
For many years Bro. Martyn has been Chairman of this
Committee and as you would naturally assume has performed
these important duties in a manner to be admired by all.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
GEORGE E. TURNER,
Past Grand Master.

District as to the desirability of establishing concurrent
jurisdiction throughout the entire District. All lodges sub-
mitted motions to the brethren on this question. The Acting
District Deputy Grand Master of Nipissing Centre District
has filed with the Grand Secretary the results of the vote
in all lodges. The vote among the lodges was unanimous in
favour of concurrent jurisdiction.
In view of this information your Committee recommends:
1. That concurrent jurisdiction be established among the
lodges comprising Nipissing Centre District.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON WARRANTS
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. H. O.
Polk, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Polk, it was received and
adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada, in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
It is my privilege to present on behalf of the Committee on
Warrants our report to the 121st Annual Communication of this
Grand Lodge.
The Committee is composed of: Most Wor. Bro. J. A. Irvine;
Rt. Wor. Bros. G. B. Rickard, C. J. Baxter, K. R. A. Flynn, G.
A. Bremner, J. H. Hutchinson, S. G. Black, A. A. Nelson and
the undersigned.
Applications for Warrants have been received from three
(3) Lodges presently operating Under Dispensation, the first of
which was Instituted on April 21st, 1975, and the other two
prior to April 1st, 1976, as required by Section 249 of the
Constitution.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 101
The petitions, books, ledgers and records of all three have
been examined, found to be in good order, having been establish-
ed on a basis that will satisfy the required purposes, for the
orderly function of the affairs of a Craft Lodge.
We recommend therefore that Warrants be issued as follows:
1. The Mount Moriah Lodge U.D., Brampton, to be
numbered 727 and assigned to Toronto District No. 1.
2. Cambridge Lodge U.D., Cambridge, to be numbered
728, and allotted to Waterloo District.
3. Friendship Lodge U.D., Pickering, to be numbered 729,
and added to Toronto District No. 3.
The Secretaries of the Lodges petitioning Warrants are to
be commended for their efforts and efficiency in setting up
minute books, membership and financial ledgers, as recommended
by Grand Lodge which will assure accurate and permanent
records pertaining to the business, financial and membership
data in future years.
As a Committee we recommend to the officers of each
newly Warranted Lodge, and those in various stages of develop-
ment the following:
(a) The urgency of fire-proof type storage for the safe-
keeping of the Warrant, Minute Books, History, and other vital
records between meetings.
(b) A strict adherence to the pattern of using recommended
forms and phraseology outlined in the Book of Constitution in
the transaction of Lodge affairs.
(c) To consider the appointment of a well-qualified Brother
as Historian to compile relevant data for use in future high-light
events that are likely to be observed.
(d) To take advantage of the availability of the Grand
Secretary and his staff for consultation, direction and guidance
in the problems of the formation of a new Lodge.
Your Committee also reminds the incoming District Deputy
Grand Masters and the leaders of established Lodges with large
membership rolls that there is an urgent opportunity to offer
assistance and leadership in the formation of new Lodges. Grand
Lodge will be celebrating its 125th Anniversary in 1980. One
course of action that would greatly enhance our image and
stature as a Fraternity would be to have several new Lodges seek
Warrants in that particular year, especially in the newer com-
munities and fast developing areas across our Grand Jurisdiction.
102 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
We extend our congratulations and best wishes to the
Officers and Members of the three new Lodges now seeking War-
rants, and welcome them into this Grand Lodge. May each
member enjoy a full measure of success, prosperity and happiness,
as he renders service to our Craft in the spirit of Brotherly Love,
Relief and Truth which contributes so much to the enduring
qualities of human enrichment.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
HOWARD O. POLK,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. Wallace
McLeod, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. McLeod, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of the Library Committee I have the honour to
present the following report to the 121st Annual Communication
of this Grand Lodge. During the year we sustained a grievous
blow with the death of our Nestor, M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn,
who had headed the Committee from 1944 to 1948. Under his
Chairmanship the Library had acquired two of its most precious
treasures: a copy of John Entick's revision of Anderson's
Constitutions, dated 1767; and an Act passed by Cromwell's
Third Parliament in 1656, declaring that any supporter of the
Stuart cause was guilty of high treason. At today's rates, items
like these would be beyond our resources, and it is well to have
them in hand. M.W. Bro. Martyn's reports to Grand Lodge read
like a triumphant litany of achievement, and set a lofty standard
for his successors to aim at. We are the poorer by his death, but
far richer for his life. It will be long ere we look upon his like
again.
The other members of your Committee were M.W. Bro.
W. K. Bailey, R.W. Bros. F. M. Greer, J. M. McCrae, N. A.
Houston, Oliver Booth, D. S. Bruce, R. H. Foote, C. F. Peck, J.
J. Talman, and C. D. MacKenzie, with the undersigned as
Chairman.
We have continued to publicize the work of the Library,
primary through the District Deputy Grand Masters. This year,
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 103
by their courtesy, a placard was set in every lodge building,
and two leaflets were left with every Worshipful Master; one
gives the titles of 100 good books, the other lists 60 samples of
audio-visual material.
The Librarian, Bro. William J. McKee, keeps on administer-
ing his bailiwick with a characteristic blend of asperity and com-
passion, helping those who want guidance, showing firmness to
those who need discipline, and spending innumerable hours
answering requests. No man, they say, is indispensable, but Bro.
McKee comes pretty close. V.W. Bros. Charles S. Gulston and
John Petherick, for the eighth consecutive year, have worked in
the Library on Wednesdays and Fridays at noon-hour. As always,
we thank them.
By long-standing tradition the book-collection has been open
one night a week. This is hardly enough for serious students, and
many of the brethren have been pleading for further opportunities
to explore our rich resources. Through the good offices of last
year's Committee we enlisted volunteers, who have kept the
Library open for an additional 120 nights since September. It
has not always been easy for these helpers: after a day's work,
to leave the comfort of home, in any kind of weather, and then
sit without a single visitor for three hours — this occasionally
happened — must be disheartening. In gratitude we record the
names of these few, these happy few, this band of brothers:
Lome M. Alter (Mount Sinai, No. 522); J. Gordon Baker
(Mizpah, No. 572); E. J. Bell (West Hill, No. 670); Charles J.
Bishop (Coronation, No. 677); George Blackie (Simcoe, No.
644); Brian E. Bond (Dentonia, No. 651); William S. Carter
(Dentonia, No. 651); Derek R. Caves (Mizpah No. 572); Ivan
Collymore (Robertson, No. 292); Glenn Cooke (Melita, No.
605); George W. Deaves (Mizpah, No. 572); Clifford W. Gazley
(Universe, No. 705); M. W. Hetherington (Acacia, No. 430);
Robert Mcllroy (Riverdale, No. 494); Kenneth MacLachlan
(Transportation, No. 583); Brian McWhirter (Doric, No. 316);
Fred Schou (Patterson, No. 265); Peter Taylor (Shamrock, No.
533); Paul Thomas (Mount Dennis, No. 599); Adriaan van 't
Hof (Astra, No. 682); Cal Waters (Maple Leaf, No. 600);
Carroll E. Waldron (Saint Andrew's, No. 16). The Committee's
especial thanks go to Bro. Gazley, who drew up the schedules.
Between May 15, 1975, and May 14, 1976, 296 brethren
signed the Visitors' Register — an increase of 89% over last
year. 268 books were loaned to local readers — up 54%. These
figures reflect our new extended hours, though the returns are
in no way commensurate with the effort expended. 135 books
were mailed to out-of-town brethren — down 19%. Altogether,
402 books were borrowed by 104 patrons — 24 more than last
year.
The Library now has one moving picture film, a 16-millimetre
coloured documentary on the Masonic Service Association,
104 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
entitled The Brotherhood of Man; it won a silver medal at the
"1975 International film and TV Festival of New York." Two
other attractive films, The Saga of the Holy Royal Arch and
The Quest for Light, may be borrowed from officers of the
concordant orders. With no inkling of censure, we simply note
that all three were produced in the United States, and reflect
American history, usages, and aspirations.
This year in the public cinemas two fine Masonic movies
made their rounds: John Huston's The Man Who Would be King,
based on a short story by Bro. Rudyard Kipling, and Ingmar
Bergman's The Magic Flute, a filming of the opera by Bro.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Both should be seen by every Free-
mason.
The Library still has its sets of 35-millimetre coloured slides,
details of which are given in the leaflet. They continue to circulate,
though not as widely as one would expect. Let me quote some
reactions. From Leamington: "We made use of the slides and
commentary ... as part of Masonic Education on the occasion
of our District Deputy Grand Master's visit, with over 100 in
attendance. The brethren were well pleased with the presentation,
and for this we wish to express a word of thanks." From Platts-
ville: "The comments . . . have been very favourable. I think
that this method of presentation can have a greater teaching
impact than any other ... It would be helpful to the Craft if
this type of library work were expanded." From Hay: "The
showing was well received . . . and a desire was voiced for more
of the same . . . My candid view is that more audio-visual projects
would be of assistance. . . . It's difficult for a novice Mason to
form a mental image of things . . . alluded to in our literature."
Perhaps this might be the occasion to make an appeal for
help. We have only eight different sets of slides, some of them
purchased, and some put together locally. None concerns our
own Masonic roots in this province. Yet here we have a past;
here we have sites that are steeped in Masonic memories; here
we have lodges with splendid banners, old regalia, early tracing
boards, historic furnishings, elegant accommodations. Not all of
us, alas, are reliable photographers; but if pictures were made
available to your Committee, we could produce a fine commentary
on the Morgan affair, on some of our early Grand Masters, on
celebrated Masonic buildings. Is anyone out there listening?
During the year, 67 books were given to the Library.
Prominent among the donors were the Grand Lodge of Quebec,
the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, the Grand Lodge of Wyoming,
and Lodge Jacob van Campen, No. 58 of the Dutch Constitution.
We acknowledge our debt to our benefactors. In the same period
we bought 1 1 1 new books and pamphlets, including some good
ones. On occasion a young Mason will ask, "Have there ever been
any famous Masons?" "Yes," comes the response, "Look at
George Washington, Napoleon, Robbie Burns." What, no
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 105
Canadians? Actually there have been lots, and your Library is
slowly accumulating books on them: pioneers, businessmen, and
politicians; lawyers, soldiers, and journalists; churchmen and
educators. Let us cite a few. Mary Beacock Fryer, Loyalist Spy
(Besancourt Publishers, Brockville), is the gripping story of
Captain John Walden Meyers, British courier in the American
Revolution, and first Worshipful Master of Moira Lodge, No. 11,
Belleville. Marjorie Wilkins Campbell's Northwest to the Sea
(Clarke, Irwin) relates the adventures of William McGillivray,
head of the fur-trading Nor' West Company and founder of Fort
William; he was Provincial Grand Master of Montreal and
William Henry at the same time that his brother Simon was
Provincial Grand Master of Upper Canada. The winner of this
year's Governor General's Literary Award, Marion MacRae, in
MacNab of Dundurn (Clarke, Irwin), tells all about Sir Allan
Napier MacNab, Premier and Provincial Grand Master, and
the magnificent regency villa he built in Hamilton. Bruce M.
Pearce's First Grand Master (published by our Grand Lodge)
narrates the life of Judge William Mercer Wilson of Norfolk
County. In Desmond Morton's The Canadian General (Hakkert),
we read of Sir William Otter, who fought in the North West
Rebellion, and led the Canadians in the Boer War; he was ap-
pointed Grand Steward in 1923. Ron Poulton, The Paper Tyrant
(Clarke, Irwin), is about John Ross Robertson, Past Grand
Master and founder of the Toronto Evening Telegram. In Lewis
C. Walmsley's Bishop in Honan (University of Toronto Press),
we learn about William C. White, the Anglican missionary who
brought home the magnificent Chinese collection in the Royal
Ontario Museum; he was Grand Chaplain in 1937. Watson
Kirkconnell, member of Faithful Brethren, No. 77, Lindsay, and
sometime President of Acadia University, has written his mem-
oirs under the title A Slice of Canada (University of Toronto
Press); he devotes a whole chapter to "The Masonic Brotherhood."
Books such as these belong to the heritage of every Canadian,
and at the same time make our fraternal bosoms swell with pride.
They are all available in your Library.
Many brethren prefer to build up their own collections, and
sometimes we are asked where to order from. For convenience,
let us give some addresses. The sole Canadian distributor is
Masonic Book Sales, 1330 Danforth Avenue, Toronto M4J 1M9.
The largest American supplier is Macoy Publishing Company,
P.O. Box 9825, Richmond, Virginia, 23228; the largest in
England is A Lewis Publishers, Terminal House, Shepperton,
Middlesex TW17 8 AS. Interesting rituals and manuals are
printed by William Reeves Bookseller, 1 a Norbury Crescent,
London SW16 4JR. Short talk Bulletins and Masonic Digests
are distributed by the Masonic Service Association, 8120 Fenton
Street, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910. Standard classics are
being reproduced in facsimile for members of the Masonic Book
Club, c/o Louis L. Williams, 317 North Main Street, Bloomington,
Illinois 61701. Several fine books are available to members of the
Quatuor Coronati Correspondence Circle, c/o Secretary, 27 Great
106 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Queen Street, London WC2B 5BB. For cassettes and films,
consult Imagination Unlimited, Drawer 70, Highland Springs,
Virginia 23075. All these organizations will send lists and
catalogues on request.
That sounds like the "classified ads" in the press, doesn't it?
But we are not very good at advertising. Despite every effort,
few Masons seem to know even of the Library's existence.
There is a real communication gap. Local Secretaries and
Worshipful Masters have so much on their minds for each meet-
ing that they do not always remember to let their brethren know
about our books. The only ones who are likely to encounter the
present report are those who attend this Communication and
those who receive copies of the Proceedings. Of course we want to
serve them; but they are experienced craftsmen. Above all, the
ones we must reach are the junior officers, the newly raised
Master Masons. All of you who read or hear this report,
we beseech you. tell these younger members that there is a
Central Masonic Library, at 888 Yonge Street, Toronto M4W 2J2,
telephone (416) 922-1248; that they can get a list of recommended
titles simply by writing; that they can borrow and return them
postage free. Don't just tell them to get hold of a book, any
old book. "Some books," said Francis Bacon, "are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and
digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts:
others to be read but not curiously; and some few to be read
wholly, and with diligence and attention." So give specific guid-
ance. All of you have been told "to afford assistance and in-
struction to your brethren." Here is one way to discharge that duty.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on
behalf of your Committee.
WALLACE McLEOD,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE GRAND CHAPLAIN
The Grand Chaplain, R.W. Bro. Rev. William
Fairley, presented his report. On motion of the Deputy
Grand Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Fairley, it was
received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful, the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
When the Volume of the Sacred Law is opened, the work
of the lodge begins. When thanks has been given to our Almighty
Father, refreshments are enjoyed.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 107
Work and refreshments, disciplined by Divine Truth, have
created a treasury of joyous memories for thousands of masons
over the years at Fraternal gatherings.
One of my most treasured memories will always be the
privilege to share work and refreshment with the Grand Master,
Most Worshipful Brother Eric W. Nancekivell, also the Officers
and Members of Grand Lodge. I am most grateful to our Grand
Master for having appointed me to the distinguished office
entrusted to my care. His thoughtful comments concerning his
officers before, during and after ceremonies and functions, are
sincerely appreciated.
To Right Worshipful Brother Hugh M. Carter, District
Deputy Grand Master and brethren of Victoria District, my deep
gratitude for the very generous monetary gift subscribed to,
under his supervision. To the officers and members of my own
lodge, Victoria No. 398, Kirkfield, for the gift of dress and
undress regalia, my sincere thanks. To Victoria Lodge and
Victoria District, as well as a number of brethren in other Districts
my grateful appreciation for a never to be forgotten reception,
September 24th, 1975. To all the masons who over the years
have given me practical encouragement in Masonic endeavours,
not least of whom is Right Worshipful Brother Chester Godwin,
my continuing gratitude.
Light hearted humour, simple dignity, joy and sorrow, are as
much part of our Fraternity as they are of life. Each emotion
compliments the other when running through them is mutual
love and respect.
The sudden death of the greatly beloved, Most Worshipful
Brother Harry L. Martyn caused shock and sorrow, not only to
those who knew him in Masonry, but wherever his gracious
and delightful personality was known. His effective constructive
use of all aspects of our Craft, not only adorned his bodily
temple, but taught others to enrich their minds with wisdom,
strength and beauty. Most Worshipful Brother Archbishop W. L.
Wright honoured me with participation in the Memorial Service.
On a chilly October day, the Corner Stone was laid for the
new Ottawa Masonic Temple.
Impressive Lodge dedication ceremonies took place at
Avonmore Lodge No. 452 and the new temple in Hamilton. There
was an interesting ceremony for the placing of the Date Stone
of King George V Lodge, 498, Coboconk.
Centennial and other significant anniversary celebrations, are
not only of historical importance, but it is most interesting to be
involved in a variety of means, by which individual lodges mark
the occasion. Each lodge that observed such anniversaries are
to be congratulated on their chosen method to honour the past,
108 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
accept present responsibilities, and with confident hope, welcome
future challenges and opportunities.
District receptions for the Grand Master, Officers and Mem-
bers of Grand Lodge meant interesting addresses from Most
Worshipful Brother Eric W. Nancekivell. They were also an
opportunity to learn from the District members about masonry
in their area, as well as the cultural life of the community. Com-
mittees responsible for organizing these events deserve commend-
ation, as the success of the occasion is in large measure due to
their detailed preparation. Dedication of new furnishings or
memorials in lodges offered the chance to share thoughts on the
significance of some aspect of our ritual.
Participation in the Shamrock Lodge, No. 533, Memorial
Service was meaningful, as they did it with appropriate dignity.
One of the most joyous events I attended was Caledonia
Lodge, No. 637, Scots' Night. It was part of their Fiftieth Anni-
versary Celebrations. I gave the natives from the west coast of
Scotland a hard time that evening.
It was a pleasure to accept speaking appointments for
Brotherhood Week in Lindsay and from the Knights of Columbus
in Peterborough.
Many of the District Chaplains who replied to my letters
were high in praise of their respective District Deputy Grand
Masters. They were for the most part encouraged with the
attendance at District Divine Services. Ottawa District No. 1
held one in the city and another in a rural area. Services planned
months in advance, well published and avoiding significant
religious and public festivals and holidays, usually meant reason-
able numbers in attendance. One of my pleasant experiences in
this regard was to participate in Toronto District No. 5 Divine
Service in Mount Sinai Temple. A few Chaplains feel there is a
need in their Districts for a greater interest in the spiritual values
that can be derived from the degrees, and it would make the
lectures and work more meaningful to everyone.
While the majority of District Chaplains are graduates in
Theology, there are a few who are not, and are to be congratulated
on the manner in which they fulfilled their responsibilities. In
Victoria District, and I trust in others, Chaplains are presented
with a Lapel Pin in appreciation for their contribution to the
Craft within the District. Other Districts may have another
form of recognition, such as a framed certificate. It is respect-
fully suggested that District Deputies be encouraged to have their
District present a memento to their Chaplains.
Some Chaplains feel the practice in certain lodges, that the
newly installed Worshipful Master give a lavish party after the
installation ceremony, be discouraged. It is their observation
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 109
that it is beyond the financial means of many family men, and
has prevented some dedicated masons from advancing beyond
certain offices. Without embarrassment, the courageous new Master
could send the brethren home at a reasonable hour, and express
his gratitude to the lodge for electing him to his distinguished
office, with a donation to The Masonic Foundation of Ontario or
some other charity.
At many receptions, particularly in small towns and rural
communities, the banquet depends on the dedication of the ladies
preparing and serving the meal. Without the co-operation of the
women at home, it would be impossible for many of us to arrive
at the functions on time and properly attired. Let us acknowledge
our indebtedness to the understanding and patient love of wife,
mother, sister or daughter.
To our Grand Secretary, Most Worshipful Brother John A.
Irvine; Very Worshipful Brother James Guy, who correspond
each year with a changed group of Grand Lodge Officers, a
sincere thank you for always thinking of us as individuals.
To the Deputy Grand Master, Right Worshipful Brother R. E.
Davies, other Grand Lodge Officers and Members, also Lodge
Officers, my sincere appreciation for the warmth of your fellow-
ship.
To the District Chaplains, my congratulations and thanks
for your thoughtful co-operation.
Finally a thank you for the kind interest of Most Worshipful
Brother Ewart G. Dixon, Grand Secretary Emeritus.
May the four essentials of our first working tool measure the
scope of our fraternal bond.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM FAIRLEY,
Grand Chaplain.

REPORT OF THE BLOOD DONORS'
COMMITTEE
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. R. J.
Connor, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Connor, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada, in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
The big story this year in the Blood Donors' Committee is
one of joining forces to present a unified campaign for the do-
nating of blood by our masonic brethren. The 7 Toronto Districts
held a full day of fun, fellowship and entertainment with the
cost of admission set at one pint of blood. This same joint effort
was used by the 2 London Districts and also by the lodges in the
Fort Erie area. The results of each of these ventures was a
wonderful improvement over previous years.
These greatly increased totals are offset, unfortunately, by
some of our other areas where the Canadian Red Cross Blood
Donor Service have had to eliminate certain clinics due to ever-
increasing costs. Decreases are also reported by some district
chairmen due to the reluctance of members to report and also
that some lodges do not promote the Blood Donor activity as
earnestly as they should.
Again this year, each of the District Deputy Grand Masters
has appointed an energetic, dedicated Mason to the position
of District Blood Donor Chairman. Of these appointees, 16
remained in office from last year and among them are some
real veterans in this service. These senior members are R.W.
Bro. Chas. Heels, Victoria District with 15 vears service; R.W.
Bro. Cal. Krauter, North Huron — 13 years; 'R.W. Bro. William
J. C. Noble — Nipissing Centre — 11 years; W. Bro. Elgin
Workman, Grey and W. Bro. Claude Osborn. Toronto 4 — each
with 5 years service. We regret that three other veterans, each
with 8 years service to the Blood Donor cause have found it
necessary to pass on their duties to a successor. To R.W. Bro.
Harold Lockwood of Algoma, V.W. Bro. Ron Shoebottom of
London, and V.W. Bro. Ab Thompson of Peterborough go a
special thank-you for their past efforts and our wish for an
active Masonic future. The Committee thanks, not only these
veterans, but all district chairmen for their contribution to our
Each year, more trophies are being presented for competition
within a district, and these are helping to foster interest in the
lodges to increase their participation.

crease at 262%. A special commendation must go to these
brethren for what is obviously a superb effort.
For individual dedication, we wish to salute Bro. Tom
Bailey of Keystone Lodge No. 412 and W. Bro. D. Martineau
of Algoma Lodge No. 469 for having made 114 and 100
donations respectively. Congratulations brethren.
Again, as in the past, some brethren who have served as
district Blood Donor Chairmen, have been elevated to the
position of District Deputy Grand Master, and this year 5 such
Masons are to be congratulated for having made this transition.
They are R.W. Bros. John C. Spry, London East; John A.
McLean, London West; Raymond E. Shane, Ottawa 1; Stanley
G. Black, Ottawa 2; and Arthur T. Prestwich, Waterloo District.
Brethren, if you are not yet participating in the Blood
Donor program, why not dedicate yourself NOW to donate
at least one pint of blood per year to help perpetuate this life-
saving project? We can succeed only by YOUR involvement. One
of our basic tenets is a belief in the Brotherhood of Man, and
by being an active Blood Donor, you can practice that belief
by providing "the gift of life" for your fellow man.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
ROD J. CONNOR,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
THE CONDITION OF MASONRY
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. H. Allan
Leal, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Leal, it was received and
adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
In opening this annual report of the Committee on the
Condition of Masonry, we would like to acknowledge once again
the great debt we owe to the District Deputy Grand Masters,
not only for their tireless efforts on our behalf in the year under
review, but for the thorough, perceptive and careful manner
in which they have prepared their annual reports. We have read
all reports available to us with interest and profit and collect-
ively they present an informative and valuable documentary on
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 113
the state and condition of masonry in this grand jurisdiction.
We are also grateful to them for the obvious and pervasive sincerity
exhibited in the performance of their tasks and in the articula-
tion of the basic beliefs of our order — what we in the masonic
craft stand for and stand against. In particular, we would
acknowledge the source of the theme chosen for this report —
"the heritage of masonry", as that chosen and utilized by R. W.
Bro. Allan A. Fenton, District Deputy Grand Master, Chatham
District, in his addresses this year.
In the heritage of masonry we have not only great privi-
leges but we are also heirs to a grave responsibility — the re-
sponsibility of seeing that the best of these things which we have
inherited are renewed by our generation, transmitted to the
next, and extended to legions of others, even those yet unborn,
who would choose our way and range themselves under our
banners, rather than the way of debilitating moral decay and the
servitude of crass materialism. Surely we must test and evaluate
the present condition of masonry in these terms of renewal,
transmission and extension. How well equipped are we to
perform these tasks and how well, in fact, do we perform them?
One can readily accept the primacy of place that must be
accorded to our doctrine — the fundamental tenets and beliefs
of the order and its sanctification and propagation through our
beloved ritual. There is ample evidence of the desire and deter-
mination to maintain this at the highest level. We are particularly
impressed with the energy, skill and devotion which the Cus-
todian of the Work, M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, P.G.M., brings
to this important office. The district reports attest not only to the
number of the instructional ceremonies and occasions but to the
fact that they are inspirational, productive and very much ap-
preciated. With respect, there can be no doubt that this critical
aspect of our order is in good hands and in good condition.
But the efforts of the Custodian of the Work can and must be
supplemented by others and in other ways. We are much en-
couraged by what we observe as an increasing number of
seminars, workshops and general instructional sessions, on a
district or regional basis, directed towards the dissemination
of masonic education and information. Much of the credit for
this development is attributable to R.W. Bro. N. R. Richards,
Chairman of the Committee on Masonic Education. He requires
and deserves our unqualified and continuous support.
Having dealt with the matter of doctrine, we now turn to
to the vital matter of leadership. It is too easily assumed that we
will always be able to find competent and devoted men who are
willing and able to assume the onerous duties of leadership of our
craft. At the present time we are singularly fortunate in this
regard in the top echelons of our executive and administrative
114 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
offices, and we simply reflect what we have read in the district
reports and observe as the general consensus that M.W. Bro.
E. W. Nancekivell, our esteemed Grand Master, and his colleagues
in Grand Lodge are, indeed, providing most competent and in-
spirational leadership. Our gratitude to them should not be less
because it is unsolicited.
The need for effective leadership, however, in a unique way
with us permeates all levels of our organizational and admin-
istrative structure. It is for this reason that we regret to observe
the recurring and too frequent difficulties which many of our
constituent lodges experience in recruiting qualified personnel
into the ranks of the junior officers. It is comforting that past
masters are prepared to step into the breach but their unselfish
devotion should not be regarded as anything more than a
temporary expedient. We need to initiate a policy of more active
recruitment and encouragement in this area and a more helpful
programme of guidance and instruction once the candidates for
office have entered upon their new duties. This is essentially a
matter for the constituent lodges to resolve in their own way
and in concluding our remarks upon it, we would simply ask
that particular attention be devoted to the office of secretary,
since this area appears to create problems in a number of
lodges. It is of interest in this regard that the report of Windsor
District recommends the preparation and distribution of a
secretary's handbook in addition to the forms and materials
pertaining to that office which are to be found in the Book
of Constitution.
Happily for your Committee, and you, the formulation and
administration of the fiscal policy concerning the accounts of
Grand Lodge lie in other and more competent hands. Your
Committee has, however, in recent annual reports dwelt upon
the financial structure and management at the constituent lodge
level and stressed the need for rationalization of the fees
structure in these inflationary times. This and similar advice from
others appears to have borne fruit and one is pleased and en-
couraged to note how many lodges this year have adjusted their
fees to more realistic levels. We were especially impressed in
reading of the conduct and publication of the annual dues survey
in the District of London West. It could not have involved an
inordinate number of man hours, but whatever was required, it
appears to have had eminently satisfactory effect and is a
technique and result which other districts may wish to emulate
in the immediate future.
Perhaps financial problems can never be completely eradi-
cated, but surely it is not beyond our ingenuity or generosity to
reduce them to the level where they cease to impede the function
and purpose of our craft. In this connection one is reminded of
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 115
the salutary approach of the Salvation Army officer to the
source of funds when he said "Just give us the money and we
will sanctify it!"
We trust that we will not be regarded as having exceeded
our jurisdiction or having acted beyond our terms of reference
by drawing attention to the fact that there are some lodges,
relatively few in number, which appear to be in substantial
difficulty and for reasons that lie almost entirely beyond their
control and capabilities. To the extent that aid lies within the
abilities and powers of Grand Lodge it is reassuring that the
District Deputies and Grand Lodge have moved in a significant
way to alleviate these hardships and relieve their necessities.
We would simply make a respectful plea for fashioning ways
that would allow more to be done. No lodge is an island and we
are taught and profess to believe that burden ceases where
brotherhood begins!
As in former years, we pay tribute and ask to be allowed
to record our thanks not only to the District Deputy Grand
Masters, but as well to the District Secretaries, the District Chap-
lains and the Chairmen of the District Committees on Masonic
Education, Benevolence and Blood Donors. Much has been re-
ceived by us because an abundance was given by them.
One of the highlights of the current year was the testimonial
dinner tendered at Sault Ste. Marie to M.W. Bro. W. L. Wright,
P.G.M. It was a truly significant event inasmuch as we were
privileged to pay tribute to the dean of our Past Grand Masters
and to express to him the great admiration and affection which
we bear him.
Tragically it proved to be the last occasion on which many
of us saw M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn, P.G.M. , alive. The con-
dition of masonry is the poorer this year due to the loss of such
a man. The members of this Committee join in expressing deepest
sympathy to his family. May their loss be more easily borne
in the sure knowledge that it is shared by a multitude of his
colleagues and brethren throughout the masonic world. As was
said of Sir Christopher Wren, so may it be said of him whom we
mourn — Si Monumentum Requiris, Circumspice! If it is a
monument you seek, look about you! Look about you, indeed,
anywhere throughout this grand jurisdiction because all of it felt
the firm grasp of his guiding hand and lay in his tender care.
What then of the heritage of masonry? Are its privileges to
be denied to future generations because the responsibility for
renewal, transmission and extension has proved a slip in our own?
This surely can only be answered by each individual mason
for himself because in the final analysis the condition of masonry
as a whole is a matter of the sum total of individual commitment.
116 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
May I ask to be permitted to close this annual report on a
personal note? This is the last occasion which I will have the
opportunity of reporting on behalf of this Committee. May I
thank you all for the privilege of having served you.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted on
behalf of the Committee.
H. ALLAN LEAL,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON
PROVINCIAL ASSESSMENTS OF
MASONIC TEMPLES OR HALLS
The report was presented by M.W. Bro. J. N. Allan,
and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by
M.W. Bro. Allan, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
Your Committee on Lodge Assessments has had a relatively
peaceful year as a result of changes in assessment practice through-
out the Province having been postponed. The present situation
may be the lull before the storm, as extensive changes in the
assessment act are indicated in a Budget Statement made by Hon.
Darcy McKeough in the Legislature last May. Mr. McKeough
stated that changes in assessment practice would become effective
in 1977; the payment of taxes in 1978 would be based on that
assessment.
Your Committee does not intend to outline the proposals
at this time but rather to inform Grand Lodge that the Ministry
intends to appoint a commission to receive submissions and to
make recommendations relating to this new property tax legis-
lation.
Having in mind the possible and I may say considerable im-
pact the proposed legislation could have upon the amount of
taxes assessed on our lodge premises, your Committee recom-
mends the appointment of a larger Committee on Provincial
Assessment of Masonic Temples with authority to prepare and
present a brief to the Commission I have mentioned. The purpose
of such action would be to acquaint the members of the Com-
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 117
mission with our somewhat limited financial ability to pay
taxes on a comparable basis with business establishments because
of the restricted use of our facilities.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted,
J. N. ALLAN,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
ON MASONIC EDUCATION
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. N. R.
Richards, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Richards, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
It is pleasant to have an opportunity to review the work of
the Committee on Masonic Education for the year 1975-76. In
some respects our work commenced a year ago at the 120th
Communication of Grand Lodge. On that occasion a session was
held to which, in addition to the committee, other members of the
Board of General Purposes were invited. A useful exchange of
ideas transpired and several helpful suggestions were made related
to Masonic education. One might reason that it would be more
appropriate if that kind of a meeting was arranged so that new
members of the Board could participate. We are indebted to a
large number of brethren who, after they complete their term of
office, continue to make a very important contribution to Masonic
education in their respective districts and throughout the Grand
Jurisdiction. The group that met a year ago is no exception. I
expect that you District Deputy Grand Masters who will retire
from the Board following this communication will continue to
make your experience and expertise available to education
programs.
Members of the Committee on Masonic Education had an
opportunity to meet at either the Belleville or London regional
meeting of the Board of General Purposes. This was a new ex-
perience and served a very useful purpose.
During the year the revision of the booklets The Petitioner,
The Entered Apprentice, The Fellowcraft and The Master Mason
were printed. It is appropriate to make reference to these booklets
118 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
and to commend them to all Masons for reading. The booklets
were edited by R. W. Bro. Wallace McLeod whose editorial ex-
pertise is apparent in the presentation of the information.
I am happy to acknowledge the summary reports forwarded
by the District Deputy Grand Masters and to read about the
highlights of Masonic Education in the forty-three districts during
the past year. The reports indicate your early attention to ap-
pointing a Supervisor of Masonic Education. The past year
appears to be a year of change of supervisors since the majority
were serving for the first time. Only four supervisors have been
in the office for three or more years. It is interesting to note
that slightly less than fifty per cent of the District Deputy Grand
Masters and the Supervisors of Masonic Education met with
chairmen of lodge committees to consider plans for a program
within the district.
Activities related to Masonic Education were varied. Several
districts reported holding a lodge of instruction. Once again we
are indebted to M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey, Custodian of the Work,
for conducting lodges of instruction. His services are much in
demand and he is generous in sharing his knowledge with us which
contributes so much to maintaining consistency of interpretation of
the work of the three degrees and the installation ceremony.
Most districts reported using the Fraternal Reviews and the
Advanced Proceeding in their lodge programs. This is encouraging
since these publications are available for distribution at the time of
the Annual Communication. They provide a good source of in-
formation for educational purposes in the fall of the year when
lodges are being reactivated following the summer recess.
As in previous reports for the committee I have chosen to
comment on activities in a few of the districts to give you some
idea of the wide variety of programs associated with Masonic
education. I quite recognize this is a dangerous practice because
space or time does not make it possible to recognize each of the
districts. The programs in the districts to which I refer may
arouse your interest and you may wish to learn more about them
for your particular district for 1976-77. This information can be
procured for you.
Districts that had the good fortune to have the brethren hear
one of Most Worshipful Brother Nancekivell's inspiring addresses
were the recipients of a rare Masonic treat. The Grand Master
has set a high standard for others to emulate.
A highlight reported from North Huron District was an ad-
dress given by the late M.W. Bro. H. L. Martyn. I feel certain that
when speaking to brethren in a part of Ontario he loved so much
he would leave a thought provoking, stimulating, memorable mes-
sage with them.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 119
In Wellington District a group of speakers was organized
and two of the group visited each lodge in the district to partici-
pate in a lodge masonic education program. A somewhat similar
approach was used in London East District when a number of
topics were chosen related to "Masonry Today". The speakers
from London East visited the lodges in London West and spoke
to a particular topic. Hamilton B District reports holding fellow-
ship meetings when families were present to acquaint them about
masonry.
Toronto District 2 held a meeting developed around an ex-
planation to the uninitiated. An attendance of 186 was reported,
64 of whom were non-masons. The report advises that a number
of non-masons sought further information about how to petition
for membership.
Workshops were held in a number of districts. The theme
chosen for the Ontario District workshop was "For Masons
Seeking Knowledge". For the first time a seminar was held in
Peterborough District developed around the theme "Updating
Masonry in Peterborough District".
"Masonry at work in the Home, the Community and the
Lodge" was the topic chosen by Toronto District 1 for its work-
shop. On two successive Saturdays brethren from Brant, Bruce,
Grey, North Huron, South Huron, Waterloo, Wellington and
Wilson met at either Brantford or Hanover for a regional work-
shop to discuss topics related to the theme "Masonry on the
Move".
Another interesting approach used was a "Question Box"
by Toronto District 3 with members of the education committee
supplying the answers. Toronto District 4 staged a "Back Page
Challenge" patterned after the well known television program
Front Page Challenge. The script prepared was both imaginative
and entertaining. Toronto District 6 held a seminar using the
topic "History, Constitution and Degrees" while Toronto District
7 arranged a "Think In" for Masters, mentors and chairmen.
The work of the Education Committee was integrated with
that of the Benevolent Committee and can be illustrated by pro-
grams held in Chatham District and Toronto District 5. The
latter offered a dramatization of a meeting to discuss benevolence
with a masonic widow. The efforts of the District Deputy Grand
Master of South Huron District serves to illustrate the linkage with
the Library Committee by the emphasis placed on the importance
of obtaining and acquiring Masonic publications. The activities
of the Supervisors in Bruce and St. Lawrence Districts revolved
around visiting lodges to assist with the interpretation of the ritual.
The report from Victoria District makes particular reference to
the contribution of the Grand Chaplain, a member of his com-
mittee, to the education program in that district.
120 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
The foregoing is but a brief review of some of the activities
in Masonic education during the past year. I hope it is enough
to do credit to the sincere, imaginative efforts of the brethren to
interpret, to communicate and to extend information. The District
Deputy Grand Master of Windsor District in his report commented
that a key to success of Masonic education is brevity. Lest you
think the writer of this report may not be aware of the significance
of brevity I close by extending the gratitude and thanks of the
committee to the brethren who contributed in any way to increas-
ing the visibility, the understanding and the outreach of Ancient,
Free and Accepted Masonry.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.
N. R. RICHARDS,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS
This report was presented by M.W. Bro. J. N. Allan,
seconded by M.W. Bro. W. L. Wright; it was received
and adopted.
To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge of Canada
in the Province of Ontario.
Brethren:
Your Committee congratulates our Grand Master upon
the presentation of a sincere and concise account of his steward-
ship as our Grand Master during the first year of his term
of office. His address contained the type of information that is
of interest to our Brethren. It was eloquently delivered, easy to
listen to and as indicated in his opening remarks did not require
two hours to deliver.
Your Committee recognizes that the responsibilities of the
office of our Grand Master are extremely onerous, that the
discharge of his many duties require much personal sacrifice.
We are, therefore, happy in the knowledge that he found the
experience enjoyable and rewarding. We are confident that he was
well received by the many sister Grand Lod.ees that he visited
and by his presence generated respect and affection for our own.
We have observed and applaud the warm and courteous
welcome extended by our Grand Master to our guests from
sister Grand Jurisdictions and concordant Bodies.
We commend his expression of appreciation to many dedicated
Brethren for their assistance and support during the year, in
particular our Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine; the
Custodian of the Work, M.W. Bro. W. K. Bailey; the Deputy
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 123
Grand Master, R.W. Bro. R. E. Davies and R.W. Bro. Allan
Leal for his continuing effort in revising the Constitution. The
Grand Master's reference to the support of the Grand East, the
District Deputy Grand Masters and the Board of General Pur-
poses, strengthens our faith in the dedication and zeal of our
Brethren. His expression of thanks to the Metropolitan Past
Masters is richly deserved: the contribution, so freely given,
is appreciated by all who attend this Grand Communication.
Your Committee shares the sadness of our Grand Master in
the death of M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn who was a giant among
Masons; his service to our Craft knew no bounds. As Custodian
of the Work for many years, as Chairman of important Com-
mittees and as an advisor on things Masonic, his advice and
guidance were always available, as were his services as a speaker
at important Masonic functions. We agree with our Grand
Master that Masonry in this jurisdiction suffered a grievous loss
in the passing of M.W. Bro. Martyn.
We join with the Grand Master in extending greetings and
good wishes to the Worshipful Masters and Brethren of our two
newest lodges, Cambridge Lodge, No. 728, at Cambridge, and
Friendship Lodge, No. 729, at Pickering. Congratulations are
also extended to the Worshipful Master and Brethren of Avon-
more Lodge, No. 452, and to the Hamilton Brethren upon the
completion and dedication of new Temples.
Your Committee are in agreement with the recommendation
of the Grand Master that the honorary rank of Past Grand
Senior Warden be granted to V.W. Bro. James C. Guy as a token
of appreciation of his services as Supervisor of Benevolence.
Your Committee approves all appointments recommended
by the Grand Master and likewise the granting of past rank to
those Brethren so designated in his address. We rejoice with him
in the distinction attained by 13 lodges which have reached 100
years of active existence. We wish also to join with our Grand
Master in extending congratulations to veteran Masons, especially
to those Brethren who have been Masons for more than 70 years,
and to Wor. Bro. J. S. Ellacott, Elma Lodge, No. 456, Monkton,
who celebrated the 60th anniversary of becoming a Past Master.
We further join with the Grand Master in the extension of congrat-
ulations to Bro. John Gidlow, John Ross Robertson Lodge No.
545, Toronto, and to Bro. Robert Templeman, Doric Lodge, No.
121, Brantford, recipients of the William Mercer Wilson Medal.
Your Committee approves all donations authorized by the
Grand Master. We particularly commend his action in author-
izing a grant to the Guatemala Relief Fund to assist in relieving
the suffering and hardship experienced by our Brethren in
Guatemala as a result of a serious earthquake.
124 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Your Committee applauds the action of the Grand Master in
commending the plan proposed by the President and Directors
of The Masonic Foundation to build a capital fund of $500,000
by the year 1980 when we will be celebrating our 125th Anni-
versary. His plan to publish an up to date History of Masonry in
Ontario by the same date is likewise applauded.
Our Grand Master concludes his address by calling upon the
Brethren to uphold and support our Ancient Landmarks. He
mentions three in particular, (1) the Brotherhood of Man, (2)
the Fatherhood of God, (3) the Immortality of the Soul. He draws
our attention to the values represented by these principles and
reminds us that strict adherence to them will bring respect and
prosperity to our Institution.
Your Committee recommends that this Grand Lodge confirm
everything that the Grand Master has reported in his address and
may the Great Architect of the Universe bestow upon him Love,
Peace, Joy and the constant desire to serve his God and his
fellowman.

Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
GRIEVANCES AND APPEALS
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. P. S.
MacKenzie, Chairman; on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. MacKenzie, it was re-
ceived and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
Your Committee on Grievances and Appeals presents its
report in the following parts:
1. ST. GEORGE'S LODGE NO. 41, vs. WOR. BRO.
MALCOLM L. WIGLE.
This case came before your Committee in 1975 and a full
report is contained in the Proceedings for that year at page 131.
The accused was charged in his Lodge with unmasonic con-
duct under Rule 1 (S). A Masonic trial was held on May 1, 1975
and although Wor. Bro. Wigle did not appear he wrote to the
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 125
Lodge admitting the facts alleged against him. He was found
guilty as charged and was suspended by his Lodge with a recom-
mendation of expulsion.
This Committee, a year ago, concurred in the finding of the
Lodge and recommended that Wor. Bro. Wigle be notified to
appear at this Communication of Grand Lodge to show cause
why he should not be expelled. He has been so notified. He has
not appeared. Your Committee now recommends that Wor. Bro.
Malcolm L. Wigle be expelled.
2. WOODLAND LODGE NO. 680 vs. BRO. TERRY
GRANTLAND PAUL.
This case came before your Committee in 1973, 1974 and
1975 and are reported in the Proceedings for 1973 at p. 149,
for 1974 at p. 129 and for 1975 at p. 130.
Bro. Paul having been convicted of two serious criminal
offences, was suspended indefinitely by Woodland Lodge after a
Masonic trial and recommended to Grand Lodge that he be ex-
pelled. Bro. Paul appeared before your Committee at the Annual
Communication in 1974 and again in 1975. In view of his own
submissions and representations on his behalf this Committee
recommended in 1975 against his expulsion but that his indefinite
suspension be continued. This recommendation was accepted by
Grand Lodge. Bro. Paul has not appeared at this Communication.
Your Committee is of opinion that Bro. Paul has made a
commendable effort to rehabilitate himself and as a result has
achieved acceptance in the community in which he now resides.
Your Committee therefore recommends that the suspension of
Bro. Terry Grantland Paul be lifted and he be permitted to
assume the status of a non-affiliated Mason.
3. COMMITTEE OF ENQUIRY — THE GRAND
MASTER'S ADDRESS 1975.
In consequence of the referral by the Grand Master in his
address at the Annual Communication in July 1975 (see p. 52 of
the Proceedings) this Committee has carefully considered the
report of the Committee of Enquiry appointed by the Grand
Master, to investigate an occurrence in Algoma District. In ad-
dition a thorough canvass of the members of the Lodge con-
cerned and the brethren of Algoma District has been undertaken
with a view to ascertain the attitude and reaction of the members
of the Fraternity and particularly of the repercussion, if any, on
the general public of the community. As a result of this investi-
gation, and bearing in mind the many extenuating circumstances
involved in the incident, this Committee recommends to the Grand
Master and to Grand Lodge that no further action be taken.
126 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Although these three cases are the only ones for presentation
to Grand Lodge at this Communication, there have been many
matters of deep concern to constituent Lodges and to your Com-
mittee during the past year. Again may we regret the apparent
hesitancy of some of our Lodges to deal expeditiously and firmly
with flagrant offences against our rules. That this problem is
not new, may we refer to an excerpt from the Grand Master's
Address at the Annual Communication in 1925 (see Proceedings
p. 65).
"There is perhaps no more disturbing characteristic of the
times in which we are passing than the evidence which we con-
stantly see of the prevalence of dishonesty in high places and
among those who are in positions of authority and trust, and I
have been greatly disappointed to find on the part of a number
of our lodges a reluctance amounting almost to an unwillingness
to deal with those who have been accused and convicted of
offences of a serious and criminal nature . . .
"The matter is too serious to be passed over in silence. It is a
very plausible argument for the lodge to say that the offending
Brother is not a criminal at heart, that he has simply made a
mistake which will not be repeated, and that it is not the part of
Masonic charity to strike a man who is already down. One can
understand and appreciate the desire to assist one who has fallen
to rehabilitate himself; it is no more than our duty. But surely
the lodge owes a duty to the Craft at large as well as to the
offending Brother. Masonry is not a thing of to-day only, or of
this locality alone. It is a great system and a world-wide organ-
ization. It is built upon a foundation of mutual confidence and
respect. Its usefulness, its very existence depends upon the
maintenance of a standard in its membership, and upon the ability
of a foreign jurisdiction to receive with confidence and safety
those whom we permit to carry our credentials. And Canadian
Masonry would soon forfeit the position which it now holds if,
through a mistaken idea of our duties as Masons, we hesitate
to purge the Order of those who have brought dishonour not only
upon themselves but upon the Craft, and allow them to continue
in the free exercise of our rights and privileges wherever they
may go."
We record with regret the passing to the Grand Lodge Above
of two valued members who served this Committee with distinction
for many years, M.W. Bro. H. L. Martyn and R.W. Bro. W. M.
Gordon. Their wise counsel and dedicated service will be sadly
missed.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.
P. STUART MacKENZIE,
Chairman.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 127
REPORT OF THE MASONIC FOUNDATION
OF ONTARIO
M. Wor. Bro. W. K. Bailey presented the following
report. On Motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded
by M. Wor. Bro. Bailey, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
On behalf of the Masonic Foundation of Ontario, I, as
President of the Board of Directors, have the honour to present
the report of the thirteenth Annual Meeting of the Foundation
which was held on Tuesday, 9:30 a.m., July 20, 1976 in the
Royal York Hotel.
At the end of the fiscal year, April 30, 1976, total assets
were $233,071.61, an increase of $12,798.07 from a year ago.
Included in the assets are bonds having a cost value of $227,1 15.00
and a par value of $235,000.00. Interest from investments totalled
$13,218.66, an increase of $1,467.00 for the year.
Disbursements were $11,500.00 in bursaries. $4,000.00 to
the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada ($2,000.00 was a carry-
over from 1975) and operating expenses of $1,235.86. The
operating expenses were slightly higher due to necessary reprinting
of stationery and memorial folders.
It is with deep regret that I refer to the loss sustained by
the Foundation in the passing of M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn.
As a Director from the inception of the Foundation in 1964 his
guidance and enthusiasm were invaluable in shaping policy and
developing programmes for assistance in emergencies to post-
secondary students. Bro. Dr. Charles W. Booth, a valued Director
for the past 3 years, suffered a physical disability eighteen months
ago. Regretfully he has requested that he should not be con-
sidered for re-election. Our sincere gratitude and best wishes are
expressed to him.
We commend the Grand Master and the D.D.G.M.'s for their
assistance in publicizing the work of the Foundation. Special
thanks are extended to the following Board members for acting
on our behalf in arranging for and in presenting bursary awards:
R.W. Bros. Charles A. Sankey, Robert W. Faithfull, James M.
McCrae, Russell R. Mableson, Raymond E. Shane, David S.
128 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
Bruce, Arthur T. Prestwich, Ross A. Kidd, James J. Talman and
Albert T. Ayre. R.W. Bro. Talman with the assistance of the
college Awards Officers has devoted many hours and much
correspondence in the selection and adjudication of the petitions
for aid. R.W. Bro. T. J. Arthur has fulfilled the duties of
Secretary-Treasurer in a highly commendable manner.
Bursaries have been awarded to 26 students in 12 colleges and
universities. In addition $3,000.00 has been allocated to 6
colleges for award to another 12 students at the discretion of
the Awards Officers. This policy was adopted last year on a trial
basis and has proven to be of considerable benefit.
The responses from the recipients and the Awards Officers
attest to the usefulness of the bursaries in filling genuine needs.
In many cases the awards have made it possible for students to
continue their university studies when financial circumstances
would have compelled them to withdraw. Let me cite 3 instances
of assistance:
1. to a student who was seriously injured in a traffic
accident and for whom claims cannot be settled until
the full extent of her injuries can be assessed.
2. to a mother of 4 children in her fourth and final year
in a nursing science course.
3. in a case of withdrawal of financial support due to
Separation of the parents.
Your Directors are grateful to the 77 Lodges, 9 District
Associations and 180 brethren for their contributions of $15,332.00
to the Foundation. Although this is not a very broad base of
acceptance by the 640 Lodges and 110,000 Masons, we are
pleased that this outreach project of our Grand Lodge is
gaining recognition. We acknowledge with gratitude the following
generous donations:
$2,000.00 V.W. Bro. George T. Kennedy marking his 100th
birthday.
$1,000.00 M.W. Bro. William L. Wright Testimonial Dinner.
$1,000.00 Sale of Guide Lines for Lodge Officers booklets.
$1,700.00 Memorial to M.W. Bro. Harry L. Martyn.
750.00 Zetland Lodge No. 326 for the 6th year.
655.00 Georgina Lodge No. 343 100th Anniversary.
500.00 London Valley Consistory Club for the 2nd year.
Our announced objective of at least $500,000 capital funds
by 1980 when Grand Lodge will mark 125 years can be attained
if a minimum of 500 Lodges and 5,000 Masons are convinced
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 129
of the merits of our work. It becomes a simple matter of re-
assessing the order of priorities in our charitable donations. May
we depend on you and your Lodge to give us your moral and
financial support in 1976-7.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
ON LODGE BUILDINGS
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. E. C.
Horwood, Chairman; on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Horwood, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
The 1974 and 1975 Reports of your Committee dealt with,
among other topics, the hazards and risks of smoke, fire and
fire insurance, whereas this year, without minimizing those reports,
this Committee deems it advisable to bring to your notice that
there are several smoke and fire devices for early warning and
control of fire in a building.
Unfortunately space prohibits a full discussion here of
these devices, but your Advisory Committee strongly recommends
that each Lodge should have its insurance agent contact the
insurance company as to the best type of device together with the
best place or places for the installation of such device or devices
in its Temple.
Moreover, each Lodge should have its agent review its co-
insurance policy keeping in mind not only inflation but also that
there is a marked difference between replacement value and a
fair market value while not forgetting the assessed value.
Many of you are familiar with the fire drill held on board
ship at sea, so that each will know where to go in case of a
130 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
catastrophe. In schools in most of our larger centres, some of
you will know that a District Fire Chief will, unannounced, enter
occasionally and set off the fire-alarm system. This Committee
is of the opinion many of our members do not know to where
the secondary fire exit leads. Therefore, it is the opinion of
this Committee that in the fall or in the spring, when there is
a temporary lull in the proceedings, it might be wise for the
Worshipful Master to inform the Brethren that the secondary fire
exit is by such and such a door which leads to a fire escape and
thence to the exterior whence there is access to a public thorough-
fare.
A short time ago, revised editions of The National Building
Code of Canada, the National Fire Code and The Building Code
of Ontario were published. Moreover, Grand Lodge's Bulletin
LB1 has been revised and rearranged. Any Lodge or Temple
Corporation contemplating purchasing property, remodelling an
existing building, building a new Temple, should not only contact
the Grand Secretary regarding the proper procedure to be
followed but should also make sure that whoever prepares draw-
ings for submission, in duplicate, to this Committee, should
become familiar, at the start of the project, with Grand Lodge
Regulations and Bulletins as well as the various Building Codes.
By so doing, much time and effort will be saved by the Lodge
and this Committee.
During the last year, another two new Temples have been
built, occupied and dedicated. The Grand Secretary has received
another fourteen inquiries from Lodges and/or Temple Corpor-
ations bringing to 246 the number which have sought various
types of information and assistance, since the inception of this
Committee in 1957. Moreover, six delegations came to the
Grand Lodge Offices seeking advice and information which
was gladly and freely given, with the result that each delegation
expressed its appreciation for the help it received.
Every D.D.G.M. must, naturally, be aware of those Lodges
which, in his District, are contemplating buying property or an
existing building to remodel for use as its future Temple or ex-
tensively remodelling its present premises or even building a
new Temple. Since Grand Lodge has Regulations for all these
projects and a definite procedure to be followed, he should,
at the earliest moment, not only write to the Grand Secretary
for an outline of his duties in assisting the Advisory Committee
but he should also request his predecessor to forward the com-
plete file of correspondence which has passed between this Com-
mittee, the Grand Secretary and the secretaries of the Lodges
concerned. By so doing, he will be able to acquaint himself with
the status quo of each project.
Your Committee derives great pleasure in helping the several
Lodges, particularly when it is able to grant approval to a Lodge
to proceed with its project due to its conformity with Grand
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 131
Lodge Regulations. On the other hand, it is a matter of great
regret when this Committee has to delay its decision because of
non-compliance with Grand Lodge Regulations. We would,
therefore, urge all those who prepare drawings for submission to
this Committee to become thoroughly familiar with all the Regu-
lations passed and approved by Grand Lodge.
Finally, I must report, once more, that Grand Lodge is
most fortunate in having two distinguished Brethren on your
Committee because of their ever-readiness to give advice to
everyone who seeks information concerning the many ramifica-
tions relative to Lodge Buildings. I refer, of course, to the Grand
Secretary, M.W. Bro. J. A. Irvine and the Grand Secretary
Emeritus, M.W. Bro. Ewart G. Dixon, Q.C.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
E. C. HORWOOD,
Chairman of the Advisory Committee
on Lodge Buildings.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
BENEVOLENCE
R.W. Bro. C. D. MacKenzie presented this report
and on motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by
R.W. Bro. MacKenzie, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada, in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
I am pleased to present on behalf of the Benevolent Com-
mittee this report of its activities during the twelve months past.
We have had a very active and interesting year. Last Fall it was
decided to assign to each regular member of the Committee a
group of districts for which he would be responsible. The pur-
pose of this was to provide each District Chairman with a
member of the Committee to whom he could turn for active
assistance and help in implementing the programmes which we
had requested them to undertake. These included many District
Meetings which gathered together Lodge Chairmen, Worshipful
Masters and Lodge Officers to discuss benevolent programmes
and the many ways in which Lodges and Masons can become
actively involved in them. This system has proven successful
and will be continued in the future.
The principle of personal involvement by all Masons in the
work of benevolence was again emphasized. This was done in
several ways. The Supervisor, V.W. Bro. J. C. Guy, together
132 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
with Committee members, held meetings at various points
throughout the Province to which District Chairmen of Benevol-
ence, Lodge Benevolent Chairmen and Senior Lodge Officers
were invited. These meetings introduced the committees policies
of emphasizing the personal aspects of benevolence and illustr-
ated points to be observed in the proper completion of application
forms. One point stressed at each meeting was the need of a
district meeting to outline the Benevolent Programme and to
encourage participation by each Lodge member in its activities
The Committee recognizes the assistance given by both
the District Deputy Grand Masters and the District Chairmen of
Benevolence. It can be safely said that without the interest
of these brethren the work of our Committee would be badly
hampered. The Committee expresses great concern that those
brethren who have served in the past as District Chairmen and
have fulfilled their duties satisfactorily be continued in their
office. We therefore urge each newly elected District Deputy
Grand Master to consider the re-appointment of the present
Chairmen of Benevolence where their work has been satisfactory.
The experience they have gained will be of much assistance in
the work we all have to do and should not be wasted.
While our attention was directed to these activities we
recognize that our principal task as a Committee is to receive
and review applications for Benevolence from our Brethren,
to establish, when a grant is approved, a level of assistance,
and to ensure that the grant made is applied faithfully. This is
done at our Annual Meeting which was held on June 11th and
12th at the Grand Lodge Office.
The first order of Business at this meeting is the present-
ation by the Supervisor of Benevolence V.W. Bro. James Guy.
of his report on his year's activities. This report reflected what
every member of the Committee knows through personal
contact with our Supervisor. It outlined the work of a dedicated
Mason whose interest and attention to our Benevolent Pro-
gramme seems to increase with each passing year and whose
understanding counsel is always available to those in need. We
are fortunate that Brother Guy occupies the position he does.
The Committee, on your behalf, extended appreciation to him
for a job well done.
A total of 115 applications were reviewed at this meeting.
Unfortunately, as always seems to be the case, a number of
applications were incorrectly completed or lacking in detail and
had to be returned to the Lodges involved for further inform-
ation. We must once again emphasize the need for complete
information on each application for Grand Lodge assistance.
When this is not provided there is an inevitable delay in exist-
ing help and those in need are the ones who suffer. It is
remarkable how there always seems to be time to do the job
properly the second time.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 133
During the last year 110 grants together with 7 interim
grants were made in the amount of $58,225. We estimate that
in the year ahead $61,000 will be required for Benevolent
Purposes and request that this sum be made available for that
purpose.
The following donations and bequests to the combined
memorial and Semi-Centennial funds are gratefully acknow-
ledged:
Memorials to:
A. Hugell $ 15.00
A. C. Castleman 20.00
H. Colombo 12.00
H. J. Turnbull 10.00
And from 1961 Masters' Assoc. Tor. Dist. No. 1 69.63
$126.63
Bequests:
Estate of Late Bro. Calvin Flanders $ 13,492.76
Bro. William Hay, Patterson Lodge No. 265 250.00
$13,742.76
Your Committee endeavours to introduce to each applic-
ation a level of personal concern. We are constantly urging our
Committee members and District Chairmen to visit our Brethren
and their dependents who need our assistance and assure them
of our personal concern. Each Christmas your Grand Master
and the Chairman of the Committee on Benevolence send to
each recipient a Christmas Card and include, on behalf of
Grand Lodge, a small gift in the form of a five dollar bill. While
this may seem to be a small courtesy the many thank you notes
and cards received as a result of this point out dramatically the
need for personal contact. We know that Masonry and Benevol-
ence, to paraphrase our ritual, are synonymous terms. To a
Mason the act of charity — the extension of a helping hand —
the comfort of the distressed and the expression of sympathy
are as natural and as normal as breathing is to life itself.
However — just as we sometimes through unexpected exertion
find ourselves short of breath and appreciate its normal com-
forts so through a lack of time — through a moments carelessness
or through simple forgetfulness we fail to seize the opportunity
of practicing benevolence and charity. It is well to remember that
nothing hurts more than the friendly letter one never got around
to writing — the hospital call one did not make or the visit
to a friend one overlooked. The happiness of benevolence is in
action but its test is what one is willing to do for others.
With this in mind we wish to extend thanks for the work
done by local Boards of Relief in the larger centres of our
Province and to our many Sister Jurisdictions for the assistance
they offer when needed. They always answer the call for help
134 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
in taking care of our brethren. One of these bodies is the
Masonic Relief Association of The United States and Canada
and we recommend our renewal of membership in it.
The Committee also asks me to extend our thanks to the
Hamilton Past Masters' Association for their hospitality at our
Annual Meeting. Each year they provide refreshments for a
Friday night coffee break and it provides a very pleasant and
welcome interlude in our deliberations.
Last year your Chairman was forced to point out a growing
tendency on the part of our Lodges to pass on to Grand Lodge
obligations which they can and should discharge themselves.
While there is still some evidence of this, we are happy to
report that another trend is becoming more obvious. Many
Lodges are seriously addressing themselves to the problem of
Benevolence and in many cases the level of assistance they have
given our applicants in a tangible way is very substantial and
is to be commended. The interest and concern of our members
for the welfare of their Brethren is evident and is very heartening.
We ask you all to co-operate with us in the work of Benevolence
by involving yourself in it through your Lodge and personally.
You will be richly rewarded.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.
COLIN D. MacKENZIE,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON AUDIT
AND FINANCE
Presented by V.W. Bro. J. W. Millar, Chairman, on
motion of the Deputy Grand Master, seconded by V.W.
Bro. Millar, it was received and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Mem-
bers of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the
Province of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
This Committee has now reviewed and considered in detail
the reports of the Grand Treasurer, the Auditor's report attached
thereto, and the report of the Grand Secretary as referred to it
by this Annual Communication. These appear to fully and ac-
curately record the essential details pertaining to —
(a) the financial position of this Grand Lodge as of April
30, 1976, and the results of its fiscal operations on a cash
basis for the twelve-month period ended on that date.
(b) details of all Receipts and Disbursements in respect to
the General Fund, the Commutation Fund, the Memorial Fund,
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 135
and the Semi-Centennial Fund; together with particulars of all
transactions and changes in Capital Accounts of Grand Lodge,
which have occurred during the said period.
(c) the Investment Accounts of the above mentioned Funds
and the summary of all financial resources as of April 30, 1976.
The following observations respecting certain matters covered
by these reports, and or, relative to its financial affairs, are pre-
sented for your consideration.
(1) The Audited Statements of Grand Lodge accounts show
that the net balance of all its resources now amounts to
$1,910,381.42. This net balance includes total investments at
cost value (not market value), plus cash on hand and in the
Bank and represents an increase in assets of $56,159.00 over
the figures of a year ago.
(2) Following traditional policy, Grand Lodge Funds are
invested in Trustee Securities with the exception of $180,000.00
Series "A" and $40,000.00 Series "B" debentures of Masonic
Holdings which are payable on demand after June 1, 1978.
These were acquired under specific authority of this Grand
Lodge in 1959. So far $172,000.00 of these debentures have
been redeemed, including $10,000.00 redeemed on April 30th,
1976.
All securities, with few exceptions, are fully registered as to
capital and interest, and are currently held in the custody of
the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Hamilton, Ontario,
whose certificate of confirmation is attached to the Auditor's
Report.
(3) Total receipts under the General Fund for fees, dues,
commutations, interest on investments, etc. amounted to
$262,055.40 while disbursements totalled $248,081.37 leaving an
excess of income over expenditures of $13,974.03.
(4) Grants for benevolent purposes, less those refunded
and cancelled, amounted to $56,270.25 a decrease of $3,716.75
from a year ago. These grants were paid out of the combined
incomes of the Memorial and Semi-Centennial Funds, as supple-
mented by transfers from the General Fund, which last year
amounted to $23,000.00. The anticipated amount for the coming
year is $21,500.00. The Committee on Audit and Finance there-
fore recommends that in order to provide these Funds, the
Board of General Purposes authorize, in accordance with
Section 119 of the Constitution, appropriations from the General
Fund up to the amount of $21,500.00. Such funds to be trans-
ferred as and when required to the combined Memorial and
Semi-Centennial Funds, in order to supplement the interest and
income therefrom, thus making adequate provision for all
benevolent grants which Grand Lodge may make during the
period May 1, 1976 to April 30, 1977. It should be noted that
136 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
the Committee on Benevolence has shown great care in admin-
istering its funds.
Your committee recommends approval of the special don-
ations to charitable institutions totalling $4,500.00 which were
made under the authority of the Grand Master as itemized in
the Financial Statement.
The Ad Hoc Committee appointed to study in depth "A
General plan for Insurance of Masonic Lodge and Temple
Property" has prepared two questionnaires, one to be com-
pleted by lodges and one by the owners of temples. These
have been sent out and when the replies have been received and
tabulated, the Committee hopes to be in a position to make
appropriate recommendations to Grand Lodge concerning the
matter.
In its review of all matters covered by this report, your
Committee has received the fullest co-operation and assistance
from the Grand Secretary and his staff. The co-operation of the
Grand Treasurer is also appreciated.
Your Committee now formally recommends to this Grand
Lodge the adoption, without amendment, the reports of the
above mentioned officers and approval of the recommendations
contained in the report of this Committee.
In accordance with Section 101 of the Constitution, your
Committee submits for consideration and approval, an estimate
of Receipts and Expenditures as it relates to the General Fund
for the year ending April 30, 1977.

138 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
We anticipate recovering $19,000 in future years from the
sale of publications, etc., which will eventually offset the deficit.
The foregoing estimates have been carefully considered and
compiled after consultation with the Grand Master, the Deputy
Grand Master, the Grand Secretary and the Grand Treasurer. Your
Committee believes they are realistic and provide for all items
which might be reasonably foreseen and for such amounts as may
be required to meet all Grand Lodge financial responsibilities, obli-
gations and commitments for the current fiscal year.
I would indeed be remiss if before concluding this report I
did not express my sincere appreciation for the assistance received
from the former Chairman of this Committee Rt. Wor. Bro.
A. C. Ashforth.
All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted.
On behalf of the Committee.
J. W. MILLAR,
Chairman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
PRINTING AND SUPPLIES
This report was presented by R.W. Bro. H. C.
Steele, Chairman, and on motion of the Deputy Grand
Master, seconded by R.W. Bro. Steele, it was received
and adopted.
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and members
of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
It is my pleasure once again, on behalf of the Committee on
Printing and Supplies, to submit the following report of ex-
penditures which the committee has jurisdiction over. The com-
mittee is composed of the following District Deputy Grand
Masters, Rt Wor. Bros. F. H. Waller, R. T. Runciman, H. E.
Mcllroy, W. J. Dickinson, R. E. Shane, C. E. Watson, A. Cipu,
B. A. Patterson, I. Schneider, M. R. Inglis and the chairman.
PRINTING & SUPPLIES 1975-1976
Booklets for Candidates — 12,000 $ 1,571.00
Grand Lodge Bulletins 2 issues & postage 4,791.00
Constitutions 1 year supply 4,852.00
Preliminary reports (3,500) 3.520.94
TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1976 139
Proceedings (1,300) 8,563.62
New Lodge Books (2) 221.01
Printing, Stationery, supplies,
Office Supplies, Forms etc 6,016.22
Total $ 29,536.14
Once again it will be noted that the total expenses of this com-
mittee were once again substantially reduced by $17,046.27. This
is attributed to the fact that no expenditures were made for
printing "The Work" as our Grand Secretary and the "Grand
East" had the foresight to purchase sufficient copies to last for
2 to 3 years. The major expense in all printing matters is the
initial type setting, so the more items purchased the lower the
final cost per item as the cost is spread over a larger quantity.
The 2 major increases over last year's report are "Booklets
for Candidates" up some $1,334.00 and Office supplies up
$1,765.00. The cost of the booklets will be recovered over a
period of time and the office supplies will last for at least 2 years.
Your committee are pleased to recommend the payment of
$221.01 for the purchase of books for 2 Lodges under dispens-
ation. Friendship Lodge U.D., Pickering and Cambridge Lodge
U.D., Cambridge.
I would like to express my thanks to the D.D.G.M.'s on the
Committee for their efforts in promoting the sale of the 3 books.
"Beyond the Pillars, History of Grand Lodge and First Grand
Master."
Special thanks must be extended to Rt. Wor. Bro. Keith
R. A. Flynn the D.D.G.M. of South Huron District. As a
pilot project, Rt. Wor. Bro. Flynn purchased several copies of
the aforementioned books. At each of his visits in his District
he advised that he had copies of the books with him and that
they were available at the close of the meeting. Due to his
efforts 46 copies of "First Grand Master", 36 copies of "Beyond
the Pillars" and 35 copies of "The History of Grand Lodge"
were sold. These sales totalled $270.00 — a very commendable
effort by Rt. Wor. Bro. Flynn.
We would also like to congratulate the brethren of Norfolk
Lodge No. 10, Simcoe, for their efforts in promoting the sale
of "First Grand Master". Each year at the annual pilgrimage to
the grave of our first Grand Master, Most Wor. Bro. William
Mercer Wilson, the brethren make available after the service,
copies of "First Grand Master".
We have approximately 4,200 copies of "Beyond the Pillars"
and approximately 2,600 copies of "First Grand Master" in stock.
The co-operation of the incoming D.D.G.M.'s is solicited in pro-
moting the sale of these fine books. Both books make a very
valuable addition to every mason's personal library.
140 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA ANNUAL COMMUNICATION
The committee would he remiss if they did not express their
thanks to the Grand Secretary and the staff of the Grand Lodge
office for their co-operation during the past year. To the Grand
Secretary for his wisdom and judgement in purchasing the
necessary supplies during the past year to effect the greatest
saving.
To the staff for the manner in which they display and
promote the sale of the 3 books — your efforts are greatly
appreciated by the committee.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted.
H. CAMERON STEELE,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL
CORRESPONDENCE
FOREWORD
To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, Officers and Members
of the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Canada in the Province
of Ontario.
Most Worshipful Sir and Brethren:
I present, herewith, for your consideration, the Report of
the Committee on Fraternal Correspondence. This report is
really a foreword to the reviews of the Annual Proceedings of
our sister Grand Lodges. We are fortunate that R.W. Bro. Dr.
J. J. Talman has accepted the heavy task of doing the reviews
because his great interest in the field of history has enabled him
to select items from these Annual Proceedings that are not only
of immediate interest to Masons of this jurisdiction, but to those
future Masons who might be historically minded. We extend to
R.W. Bro. Talman our sincere appreciation for his fine work on
our behalf.
The principles of Freemasonry continue to be a topic of
discussion in the addresses of several of the Grand Masters to
their Grand Lodges. Read Alberta, New Brunswick and New
Hampshire.
In last year's report, your attention was drawn to the in-
creasing use of computers in recording procedures in several Grand
Lodge offices. This year shows Alberta and Virginia added to
the number.
In 1972 it became necessary to deal with the increase in the
cost of operating our Grand Lodge. We are forced to consider
the problem again this year. Read how Colorado and Connecticut
dealt with it in their Jurisdictions.
Your chairman has always been fascinated with the spread of
Freemasonry in the distant past into various parts of the world.
This report includes the spread of Masonry into the area which
was later to become the Province of Manitoba and the formation
of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, our sister jurisdiction to the
west, which celebrated its centenary in 1975.
The struggle for Masonry to continue to exist under adverse
political systems has always been of interest to Masons living
in a free society. The review of China describes some related
facts.
For some years the public has been deluged with the results
of surveys of one kind and another. Many people are concerned
about the uses to which survey results are applied. Read what the
Grand Master of North Carolina had to say about one of these.
Over the years we have had a succession of "advocates of
change" in Masonic ritual, dress and procedure. You will be
interested in learning how New Zealand and South Australia
handled some of these situations.
The review of Washington includes some of the problems
presented to the Grand Master for decisions. Some of these have
occurred in Ontario in the past with like results. A Grand Master's
term in office is not always one of peace and serenity.
Some years ago your chairman listened to an address en-
titled "Charity That is not Money". You will find a similar
version in the review of Western Australia.
Reviewers of the Annual Proceedings, like vintage wine,
seem to improve with age. In the reviews this year, reference is
made to two in this class; M.W. Bro. Fred Winkles, P.G.M. of
the Grand Lodge of Washington, who wrote the reviews there
for nineteen years, and M.W. Bro. Ralph J. Pollard, P.G.M.
(Hon.), who was reviewer for the Grand Lodge of Maine for
thirty years. R.W. Bro. Pollard was r-lso our Grand Representative
near the Grand Lodge of Maine. Both have now passed to the
Grand Lodge Above but they have left behind many sound
observations written during their years in office. We salute their
contributions to Freemasonry.
This foreword has indicated some of the outstanding events
and concerns mentioned in the reviews. You are invited to read
them all because they are all informative and well worth the
time spent in doing so.
Respectfully and fraternally submitted,
BRUCE B. FOSTER,
Chairman.
Fraternal Correspondence and Reviews
ALBERTA — 1975
70th Annual Communication — June 20-21.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. G. R. Sterling
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. W. A. Milligan
Lodges, 172. Membership, 16,421. Loss, 241.
The Grand Lodge held its tenth annual Masonic Spring
Workshop in the Banff Centre, April 18-20. Total registration
was 667 and final attendance 576. Once again the participants
exceeded the capacity of the Centre and additional accommo-
dation had to be provided. The theme was "Masonry and the
Mason in the Permissive Society." After an opening session
with two speeches the meeting was broken into 55 groups.
Wide ranging discussion followed. The bookstall was a hive
of activity during leisure periods.
The Report on the Grand Master's Address presented a
good account of what the Grand Master had to say. Two brief
paragraphs stood out.
"One suspects at times that some Masons become so much
intrigued by the external facets of Masonry that they forget
just what they are supposed to be, and the philosophical, moral,
and ethical principles they have accepted. It is well, therefore,
for the Grand Master of Masons to say unequivocally, from
time to time, just what Masonry has always stood for and what
it stands for today. We are most pleased that our Grand Master
has given us a firm reminder of the great principles that have
guided Masons for many generations. . . .
"Brief reference is made to the Committee on the Work. A
less tolerant Grand Master might have expanded this theme and
pointed out that the Committee on the Work is the only authorit-
ative source of information on Masonic ritual and ceremony in
this jurisdiction. It is not uncommon for lodges to be incorrectly
advised on ritualistic or ceremonial questions by well intentioned
but imperfectly informed brethren. The result is errors in the
work that could have been avoided had advice been sought
from the Committee through the Grand Lodge office."
The Committee on Finance investigated the possibility of
computerizing the membership records and found that "not
only can economies be effected in the preparation of the de-
cennial roster but a more flexible and useful fund of information
4 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
to individual lodges can be obtained and maintained at very
little cost." The item was included in the budget. The initial
cost was $4,000.00 with an annual cost thereafter of about
$400.00.
ARIZONA — 1975
93rd Annual Communication — May 19-20.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. S. C. Parish
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. M. E. Anderson
Lodges, 70. Membership, 15,549. Gain, 404.
Masonry in Arizona, according to the Grand Master,
contrary to the situation in some jurisdictions, continues to
make small numerical increases, but not at all in relation to the
growth of population of the State. He added:
'There is much that needs to be done at the planning level
that Blue Lodge Masonry will involve more men actively, that
alone would do much to alleviate the problems in the Lodges.
It can be done and remain within the framework of Blue Lodge
Masonry. I believe it will be done but it will take much devoted
labor and can not be accomplished over night. In many lodges
I have seen moves being made in that direction."
During the year, the Grand Lodge constituted two lodges,
both of which are serving a great need in their areas. In ad-
dition three new temples were dedicated. Each of the buildings
is spacious and of an architectural style making it a credit
to the community and Masonry.
ARKANSAS— 1975
134th Annual Communication — November 18-19.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. J. L. Overstreet
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. D. H. Carmack
Lodges, 367. Membership, 49,249. Gain, 43.
The Grand Lodge met six times in Emergent Communications.
Unfortunately, two were called to conduct the funeral services of
Past Grand Masters. Three were called to dedicate new lodge
buildings.
As the result of a request at the previous Annual Communica-
tion, a special committee prepared a ritual for draping the altar
for a deceased brother. A ceremony also was provided for remov-
ing the drape when all periods of mourning are over.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 5
BRITISH COLUMBIA — 1975
104th Annual Communication — June 19-20.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. M. L. Ban-
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. T. Y. McLachlan
Lodges, 171 Membership, 24,267. Loss, 243.
The Grand Master had a particularly pleasant and re-
warding trip through the northern part of his Jurisdiction. The
Lieutenant Governor, R.W. Bro. W. S. Owen suggested that they
coincide their trips to Atlin and meet at his birthplace.
One special event was the opening of the new Free-
masons' Hall, Vancouver. "This beautiful building with its
splendid Lodge rooms, the Grand Lodge office and library and
the good accommodation, is a credit to the Order and should
serve the Lodges for many years to come."
Blue Mountain Lodge in Port Coquitlam was instituted
with more than 230 Brethren jamming the Lodge room. The
Lodge has 55 Founder members.
M.W. Bro. D. M. Taylor, (G.M. 1962), retired as Grand
Secretary and was succeeded by R.W. Bro. T. G. Ellison,
Past Grand Historian, D.D.G.M., and Freeman of the City of
London. R.W. Bro. Ellison took early retirement from his
position as Western Operating Manager of a large commercial
corporation to accept the office.
The Committee on Appointment of Grand Secretary laid
down the criteria for the office. "The brother must be a Past
Master, devoted to the Craft, skilled in the workings of Grand
Lodge, of an even temperament, knowledgeable in business
affairs, esteemed by his brethren and ready and willing to under-
take the manifold duties of the office."
CHINA — 1974
21st Annual Communication — October 25-26.
Grand Master, 1973-74 — M.W. Bro. L. B. Herd, Jr.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. Ian Lin
Lodges, 6. Membership, 904. Gain, 88.
The Grand Secretary, M.W. Bro. G. W. Chen (G.M.
1962-63), published an eight page synopsis of the Masonic
History of China, in English. Although brief, it cannot be
reproduced here. Suffice it to reprint the first few lines which
reveal the diverse origins of Chinese Freemasonry.
"Generally speaking, the Masonic History of China can be
divided into three periods.
6 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
"1. From 1767-1949
"2. From 1930- 1949
"3. From 1949 onwards
"The first period covers the days when Lodges, chartered
under foreign jurisdictions, functioned in the Treaty Ports,
mainly for foreign nationals.
"The second period traces the development of Masonry
amongst the Chinese public, concurrently with Lodges under
foreign jurisdictions, from 1930 to 1949, through two wars,
under jurisdiction of the Grand Lodges of the Philippines and
California, U.S.A. until the establishment of the Grand Lodge
of China in Shanghai in March, 1949.
"The third period covers the occupation of the Mainland
by the Chinese communists shortly thereafter, resulting in the
forced deactivation of the Grand Lodge of China after only
two years of operation; the following period of darkness until
it's reactivation on Taiwan and the succeeding years during
which the Light of Masonry in China has become increasingly
brighter.
"Free and Accepted Masonry was first introduced in China
by Amity Lodge No. 407 under the English Constitution at
Canton, Kwangtung Province in 1767. It was followed, in 1788.
by Lodge Elizabeth, under Swedish Constitution. Both Lodges
ceased to operate shortly after the end of the eighteenth century.
"Following the deactivation of these two Lodges, there was
an apparent period during which Masonry was again non-
existent in China, but, in 1844, Royal Sussex Lodge No. 735
was warranted by the Grand Lodge of England to hold meetings
in Kwangtung Province, in the city of Canton.
"Thereafter, Lodges were established in China under, at
least, nine foreign jurisdictions, namely, England, Scotland,
Massachusetts. U.S.A., Germany, Ireland, Austria, Italy, Philip-
pines and California, U.S.A. By 1939, subordinate Lodges had,
for various periods, been located in Hongkong and eighteen
mainland cities, the principal ones being along the China coast
at Canton. Swatow, Foochow, Shanghai. Nanking. Tientsin.
Peking (Peiping) and during World War II at Chungking."

The Grand Lodge met in no fewer than fourteen Special
Communications. Eight were held to lay cornerstones of edu-
cational institutions of various types, three were for hospitals
and one was for a town hall. The boxes in the stones contained
a great variety of enclosures. One item which must be uncommon
was a sample of corn, wine and oil. The cornerstone for the
town hall also now preserves a "Blank traffic ticket from
Federal Heights Police Department."
The great increase in the costs required to operate the
Grand Lodge necessitated raising the per capita payment for
each member to $5.50 of which fifty cents is to be used ex-
clusively for charitable, benevolent and educational purposes.
Over the years many donors have given generously to the
Benevolent Fund Association. The market value of all assets
now stands at well over $3,000,000.00.

Although dispensations usually deal with routine matters,
now and then one stands out. Such was the case when Friend-
ship Lodge No. 145 was authorized to open a Special Com-
munication "in the apartment of Atlantic-Phoenix Lodge No.
224, G.R.E. of Hamilton, Bermuda to exemplify the Fellowship
Degree."
The Committee on Finance, Grand Lodge Taxes & Ass-
essments for 1976 resolved that the annual assessment for each
taxable member on the roll should be $3.50 for Grand Lodge
Operations, 25 cents for Masonic Service Association, 25 cents
for Masonic Youth Activities and $10.00 for the Masonic
Charity Foundation, for the Plant Improvement, Expansion and
Replacement Fund, totalling $14.00.

8 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
An Emergent Communication of the Grand Lodge, of more
than usual interest, was called to dedicate the new Masonic hall of
Granite Lodge No. 34, Talleyville. The new hall is in a wing
of Lombardy Hall, the home of the first Grand Master of Dela-
ware, M.W. Bro. Gunning Bedford, Jr. It was fitting that the
dedication and restoration of Lombardy Hall should take place
at the start of the Bi-centennial celebrations of the United States
as M.W. Bro. Bedford played an important part in the develop-
ment of the federal constitution. He was a delegate to the
Continental Congress (1785-86) and the Federal Constitutional
Convention (1787). He championed the rights of small states
and was instrumental in making Delaware the first state to enter
the Union. Granite Lodge plans to restore the balance of the build-
ing and make it into a historical centre.

The Masonic Home reported a new experience. Not long
ago there was a waiting list for admission to both the open
home and the infirmary. When the report was presented there
were none. Indeed, there was 28 vacant rooms in the open home
and 14 vacancies in the infirmary. Guests totalled 99. The under
utilization of space caused budgetary problems. The Board
members did not give an opinion as to the cause of the decline.
The Grand Lodge approved an amendment to the Code
which provided that where any Jurisdiction whose boundaries
abut the District of Columbia has granted concurrent jurisdic-
tion with the District of Columbia in any county, city, etc.,
the Grand Lodge of the District will grant like concurrent
jurisdiction.

The Board of General Purposes received a report from the
District Grand Master for East Africa that six lodges in Uganda
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 9
had been unable to meet since August 1972, owing to the state
of affairs existing there. One lodge, Victoria Nyanza No. 3492
was continuing to meet by dispensation in Nairobi, Kenya. In
the circumstances the Board had no alternative but to recom-
mend that the lodges be erased from the Roll of the Grand Lodge.
On the other hand, lodges on the Grand Register rose from 7,684
to 7,751. One of the additional lodges was Polaris No. 8618,
Goose Bay, Labrador.
The M.W. The Grand Master expressed the desire that the
central portion of his speech at the Annual Investiture be read
out by the Master or Secretary at the next lodge meeting. The
item referred to covered almost two full pages and dealt with the
Bagnall Report on Grand Lodge Charity. The most significant
paragraphs ran:
"My Committee has decided that the legal framework of the
Grand Charity should be established and the necessary work to
achieve this is in hand . . . The Bagnall Report envisaged that
one of the functions of the Grand Charity should be to act as a
means whereby the Craft as a whole could exercise some control
over the allocation of contributions among the Charities. . . .
"When the Grand Charity does start to operate, it will be in
a position not merely to help out in moments of crisis or in lean
years; it will enable every Brother in the Constitution to make his
annual contribution to the cause of charity, beyond the charity
collection in the lodge.
The Bagnall Committee also recommended that the Grand
Lodge should authorize the new additional office of "Charity
Steward" in lodges "as distinct from that of Almoner."
The Bagnall proposals grew from the competition for funds
between the various charities. As the Grand Master said: "This
spirit of enthusiastic competition may have served well in easier
times but it cannot be to the advantage of the Craft today that
our great Masonic Charities should show a desire to fight and, if
need be, die in the last ditch for the sake of an illusory separat-
ism. Our Charities, let me remind Grand Lodge, exist for the
good of the whole Craft and of every Freemason."
In line with the recommendation of the Bagnall Report, the
Board of General Purposes implemented the establishment of the
office of "Charity Steward." The Board recommended that "the
Charity Steward shall be an 'additional' Officer taking precedence
when appointed after the Junior Deacon." The Board did not
feel that the office needed to be elective. Nor did it believe
that the office should necessarily be held by a past master. The
jewel of the office is a trowel.
The M.W. Grand Master, at the Annual Investiture, ex-
pressed his pleasure at the good recovery the Grand Secretary,
R.W. Bro. Stubbs, had made from his operation in the previous
10 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
August. The last item in the report of the Quarterly Communica-
tion of December 10 was R.W. Bro. Stubbs's account of his tour
in Ghana and Sierra Leone in November, clearly evidencing
the good health of the traveller. All brethren in our Jurisdiction
express our congratulations.

The Southeastern Masonic Conference, made up of the
Grand Lodges of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida, met in
Orlando, Florida. "Enlightening and significant papers were
presented during the sessions."
The Jurisdiction was plagued by tax problems. The 1968
Florida Constitution does not expressly exempt any property
from "ad valorem taxation" but specifically provides that all
property shall be taxed on a uniform and equal basis. The
Constitution does provide that the Legislature may, and may
is the operative word, exempt property used predominantly "for
education, literary, scientific, religious or charitable purposes."
Property used for fraternal purposes does not come under this
provision. The 1885 Constitution, however, included the words
benevolent and fraternal in the equivalent chapter. Under this
law four groups appealed the Supreme Court of Florida; a
Masonic lodge, a lodge of Knights of Pythias, a lodge of Odd
Fellows and a women's club. The court ruled in favour of the
groups. This decision did not apply under the new Constitution.
The Grand Lodge set up a Special Committee which took the
problem to the Governor and Cabinet. The Committee was well
received and a new regulation permits the exemption of property
used predominantly by non-profit fraternal and benevolent
organizations, on a pro rata basis. Obviously any part of the
property rented for commercial purposes or, for example, used
as a restaurant must pay the tax.
The Masonic Home of Florida began the year with 149
resident guests and ended with 144. Ground was broken for a
"Special Service Building."

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 11
During the year, several Grand Masters stressed the im-
portance of Masonic Education in their addresses. The Grand
Master of Georgia summed up the views of many when he said:
"I think it goes without saying that education is the answer to
Masonic progress. Therefore I recommend to the Brethren to
take every opportunity they can to improve themselves in
Masonic knowledge. It will make them wiser, better, consequently
happier."
Masonry in Georgia, perhaps as a result of a most active
programme of Masonic Education is flourishing. The slight gain
in membership provides some evidence of this but the laying
of eight cornerstones for lodge buildings certainly provides more.
In May, 186 Georgia Masons and their wives flew from
Atlanta to London, England. In London, arrangements had been
made for all the brethren to visit a lodge. After three days in
London, the group travelled to Edinburgh by train where they
visited Lodge St. Clair No. 349 in a body.
The Grand Master revived the custom of celebrating the
Festivals of the two Saints John. Occasional Communications of
the Grand Lodge were convened on December 27 and June 24.
Special programmes were presented.

Provision permitting the receipt of applications from per-
sons under 21 years of age has been in effect in Iowa for three
years. Although lodges are not required to report on candidates
in a special age category, the Committee on Returns of Lodges
requested the information. Sixty-one lodges replied and the
figures showed that the lodges of Idaho have elected an average
of 20 candidates per year who are under 21. Initiations for the
year totalled 260 of all ages.
The Committee on Fraternal Relations commented on the
number of resolutions introduced in Grand Lodges to lower the
age at which a man can petition. They concluded: "When pre-
sented, this resolution has been rejected by a great majority
of the Jurisdictions."
The old Masonic Temples at Idaho City and Silver City
were designated as Masonic Memorials. This action made these
12 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
buildings eligible to receive restoration aid from Grand Lodge
funds. The Grand Lodge appropriated $3,000 to be divided
evenly between the two. Idaho Lodge No. 1 had already raised
over $4,000 for the start of the work.
ILLINOIS — 1975

The Grand Lodge Officers are optimistic about the future
of Masonry in Illinois. During the past several years there has been
a steady decline in the number of petitions received but the decline
has halted and there has been a modest increase. During the
1940's petitions averaged over 10,000 per year. In the 1950's
the figure was 8,000, in the 1960's about 4,500, and the first
five years of the 1970's a low of 3,600. Now the annual rate
appears to be about 3,900 or 4,000. The Grand Master and the
Committee which passed on his report attributed the change to
increased activity in the lodges. "We cannot expect petitions
from men who are not aware that Masonry is a going and growing
institution in their community," as the Committee said.
Clear evidence of the activity on the local lodge front is
shown by the ten Occasional Communications of the Grand Lodge
which met to lay five cornerstones for new lodge buildings and
to dedicate five new buildings.
INDIA — 1974
Grand Festival Communication — December 28.
Grand Master, 1969-74 — M.W. Bro. M. S. Thacker
Grand Master, 1974-77 — M.W. Bro. K. Veeraswami
Lodges, 224.
The Grand Master-elect, Brother Kuppuswami Veeraswami
is the Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature at Madras. At
his installation, M.W. Bro. Veeraswami told of the progress which
Freemasonry has made in India. "We have now completed over
13 years as a Grand Lodge, and in this period . . . Whereas we
began with 145 Lodges in 1961, we now have 224 Lodges on our
Roll. The number of members was less than 7,000 in 1961. We
now have about 13,000 on our roll. While the average age of
members had been 45 to 60 in the old days, it has now come
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 13
down to 35 to 45 which is all to the good." He also said that
Lodges have evinced great interest in community service projects,
outlining several of the various activities such as the Masonic
polyclinics at Delhi and Calcutta.
His conclusion should be gratifying to all the Brethren of our
Jurisdiction. "Brethren, we have had a long evening and I would
not like to detain you any longer. Before we part, I would, how-
ever, like to quote a paragraph or two from a book 'Beyond the
Pillars' issued by the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of
Ontario. This is a book which every Freemason will do well to
read."
ISRAEL — 1975

Grand Master, 1973-74 — M.W. Bro. Felix Klug
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. Zvi Levin
Since we have reports for only three Quarterly Communica-
tions and do not have the Report of the Annual Installation, our
Review cannot be complete. Nevertheless, such information as we
have shows that in spite of the rise in the cost of living, the
Grand Lodge is active. The Grand Lodge approved an increase
in the fees paid to that body.
The Grand Master reported: "Our office building is about
to be completed and it is our hope that in the very near future
we will be in a position to celebrate its opening and to convert
the present offices into a museum and an additional Temple."
In an effort to cut costs, the Grand Lodge decided to reduce
the numbers of "Haboneh Hahofshi" from the customary 5-6
issues a year to 4. The Grand Master had second thoughts on the
matter and did hope that some way would be found to produce
additional numbers. The publication referred to is a Masonic
magazine, in translation "The Freemason" which gives the inform-
ation normally found in Proceedings.

Wakkanai Centennial Lodge No. 21, although consisting
of only a handful of Japanese who are relatively new members
14 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
of the Craft, has organized a movement to supply seeing-eye
dogs for the blind. This movement has been greatly appreciated
by the city authorities and the local press has shown great
interest.
The Grand Lodge and the constituent lodges also made
significant contributions to relieve "the distress of the victims
of Izu earthquake and the Miura fire disasters."
At his installation the Grand Master said that during his
year of office he hoped to see more active community activities,
improvement of the Japanese ritual, publication of explanatory
booklets in the Japanese language for the benefit of Japanese
people who show an interest in the Fraternity, acquisition of
legal status for the Grand Lodge, more education for the mem-
bers, and strict financial scrutiny. Many of the aims were
achieved and progress was made in all.
More than half of the members of Japanese lodges live out-
side Japan. And yet the finances of the constituent lodges depend
greatly on the dues of non-resident members. At the same time,
the number of Japanese brethren is increasing but they are
not yet very many.
The Committee on Temples reported that facilities did not
change significantly. The outstanding accomplishment was the
completion and dedication of the new temple in Kunitachi City.
The new temple permitted four lodges to move off military
bases to Kunitachi City. Only four lodges are now located on
military facilities.
KANSAS — 1975

Kansas enjoyed a banner year in centennials. No fewer
than fourteen lodges celebrated one hundred years of activity.
The Grand Master was able to attend ten of the celebrations.
The alphabetical list of lodges, by name, gives the date of the
charter. A glance through the 404 names showed that another
four lodges will celebrate centennials in 1976.
The Superintendent of the Kansas Masonic Home reported
that there was no waiting list and that rooms were available for
men, women and couples. The average age of those entering
the Home was 81.6.
The Grand Master, on installation, promised to have a
marker designed for the graves of Past Grand Masters. He was
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 15
able to initiate the programme. With assistance he chose the
apron of a P.G.M. as a symbol. This, cast in bronze and af-
fixed to a concrete post, can be set into the ground at the grave
site. The Grand Lodge met and dedicated the first two of
these markers. The first was at the grave of the first Grand
Master, Richard M. Rees.
The Grand Master also was able to report the printing of
the first history of Masonry in Kansas. The project had been
before Grand Lodge for many years. The Grand Master gave
many of the details. The Grand Lodge had expended $40,000
but actually did not possess a manuscript suitable for printing.
The problem was turned over to M.W. Bro. Graybill who
produced the required text on time. Advance sales were excellent.
Copies of the volume were on sale at the Annual Communication.
KENTUCKY — 1974

The Grand Lodge unveiled a plaque at a religious service
at the Central Christian Church, in Lexington, Kentucky, on the
exact site where in 1800 representatives from five lodges, work-
ing under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Virginia,
met and 1 formed the Grand Lodge of Kentucky.
The Grand Lodge maintains two homes: the Old Masons'
Home in Shelbyville and the Widows' and Orphans' Home at
St. Matthews. At the former, the resident population declined
from 95 to 71. At the latter, resident widows increased from
195 to 200 while children declined from 30 to 22. A declining
population raises individual costs.
In the list of dispensations is one permitting a lodge to
hold meetings in a church basement, until further notice. The
explanation was that the lodge hall had been destroyed in "the
April tornado". The same storm destroyed 80% of the trees
on the farm of the Widows' and Orphans' home. The timber
was so split and twisted as to be of no commercial value.

16 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
In speaking of the state of the Order, the Grand Master noted
that in the various parts of the State it was noticeable that more
younger men are beginning to come into the Fraternity. He
added: "It is important that we plan and provide that there is a
place and an opportunity for these members to continue as active
Masons in service to their lodges, to our Fraternity and be a
visible good influence in their communities."
Over the past years, according to the Grand Master, there has
been a gradual erosion of the control of the administration and
financial affairs of the Grand Lodge. Corrective actions were
required. A number of messages entitled "The Brethren are
entitled to know" were issued to provide the members of the
Fraternity an opportunity to understand more fully the prevailing
conditions.
The printer of the Proceedings closed down his operations
and the Grand Secretary perforce had to find another. After a
long search the bid of the Masonic Home Print Shop, Guthrie,
Oklahoma, was accepted. Although the Grand Secretary said that
printing was being reduced, the Proceedings for 1975 have come
out as a cleanly printed and sizeable volume of just over 600
pages.
The Grand Secretary reported that the project to collect
photos of cornerstones, as well as interiors and exteriors of all
lodge buildings in the State was progressing.
MAINE — 1975

A reviewer of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodges of the
world is likely to follow a certain pattern in what he looks for
first. It is safe to say, however, that when he comes to Maine,
if he has been doing the work for any length of time, he will
immediately turn to the Report of Correspondence, compiled
by M.W. Bro. Ralph J. Pollard (P.G.M.). This year, the
opening paragraph of the Foreword tells us why. M.W. Bro.
Pollard wrote:
"With this report, we complete thirty years of service as
Chairman of this Committee and as writer of these reports.
This service has been one of the most fascinating and rewarding
experiences in our Masonic life. At this milestone, we wish to
record our sincere thanks to Almighty God", who has given us
the lengthened years and continued mental ability to make this
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 17
service possible, to the sixteen successive Grand Masters who
have entrusted us with this responsibility, and to our dear wife,
Millwee, without whose assistance, as you all know, this work
would have been impossible."
During the thirty years much has happened in Masonry.
M.W. Bro. Pollard summed up what he had seen.
"When our earliest reports were written, American Free-
masonry was passing through a post-war period of abnormal
prosperity and popularity, with tremendous numerical gains.
Today, as you all know, our Fraternity is passing through a
period' of adversity, with membership losses being reported by
all but a few Jurisdictions. We have thoroughly discussed this
matter in earlier Forewords, and will make no further reference
to it at this time, except to re-affirm our confidence in the future
of Freemasonry, so long as its members remain true to its
fundamental teachings and exercise due care in their selection
of candidates."
At the 1974 Annual Communication the Grand Lodge
adopted the Ceremony of Table Lodges and directed the Com-
mittee on Ritual to prepare a suitable ritual for adoption at
the Annual Communication. The Committee reviewed several
rituals and regulations for Table Lodges now in use in the
Grand Lodges of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Indiana
and New Hampshire. From this review and a consideration of
some of the historical background the Committee prepared a
ritual for Table Lodges together with a set of regulations to
govern the conduct of this ceremony.

During the year the Board of General Purposes met in
six regular and one special meetings, with an average attendance
of 43.
Since the Grand Lodge of Manitoba meets in June, prior
to our Annual Communication and Proceedings take about a
year to produce (e.g. we receive them just too late to be in-
cluded in the following year) we are not able to report on the
One Hundredth Annual Communication held on June 16-17,
1975.
In recognition of the forthcoming centenary, the Grand
Historian spoke of the Golden Jubilee year, 1925. He told of
18 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
the unveiling of a handsome bronze plaque on the meeting
place of the first Masonic lodge in 1864. The plaque can
still be seen attached to the building at the corner of Main and
Lombard Streets. He also said that one of the main projects
of the year 1925 started in 1923 when the brethren were asked
to contribute generously to the Benevolent Fund. They collected
$50,000, bringing the Fund up to approximately $150,000 by the
time of the Jubilee Communication.
Another important project was the publication of the
history of Freemasonry in Manitoba from 1864 to 1925. This
275-page work has been long out of print.

It is gratifying to be able to report on the centenary Annual
Communication after all, but before we come to that we must
report on the Emergent Communication held on January 25,
1975.
The Grand Master informed the brethren that the Emerg-
ent Communication had been called to consider approving the
voluntary commitment of the more than 13,000 Masons in
Manitoba to a philanthropic project during the Centennial
Year of Grand Lodge. It was the hope of the Centennial Com-
mittee in recommending to the Board of General Purposes, and
now to Grand Lodge, that the brethren mark the Centennial
Year with a gift to the province that will in many ways,
symbolize the principles and high ideals of Freemasonry.
The Chairman of the Centennial Committee explained
that the project recommended by the Committee was to raise
approximately $40,000 to supply to the Health Science Centre
in Winnipeg, equipment whose function is to provide to
doctors the visual presentation of the interior of the eye, in
order to detect foreign bodies or abnormal masses. The only
method available at present are X-rays which cannot be used
because of the harmful effects to the eye; or exploratory surgery.
The motion carried.
On Saturday, June 14th, 1975 the Eleventh Masonic Dis-
trict sponsored a Gala Ball as a part of the Centennial Cele-
brations. This event was held in the new Winnipeg Convention
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 19
Centre where dinner was served 1 to well over three thousand
Masons, their ladies and friends.
On Sunday, June 15th, a Grand Lodge Divine Service was
held in the Centennial Concert Hall, Winnipeg, as a special
event in connection with the celebration of One Hundred Years
of Freemasonry in Manitoba. The Service was conducted by
R.W. Bro. Rev. Canon J. G. Fairclough, Grand Chaplain, assist-
ed by M.W. Bro. H. G. McCrae, Grand Master, Rev. Father J.
Alarie, Chaplain of Goulet Council, Knights of Columbus, and
Rabbi Sidney Rappaport of Rosh Pina Synagogue. The sermon
was given by M.W. Bro. T. C. Miller Nixon, P.G.M. of the
Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan. A special choir of Masonic
brethren gave leadership to the singing and sang two anthems.
The Board of General Purposes which met six times as is re-
quired by the Constitution, accepted the resignations of R.W. Bro.
Guy, Grand Secretary, R.W. Bro. J. H. Menzies, Grand Librar-
ian, and M.W. Bro. R. E. Emmett (G.M. 1955). M.W. Bro.
J. L. Rankin (G.M. 1970) was elected Grand Secretary.
Before he retired, M.W. Bro. Emmett completed his history
of the "Second Fifty years of Freemasonry in Manitoba". He
also gave an address at the Annual Communication. In view of
the important part our Grand Lodge played in the early history
of Freemasonry in Manitoba, a few paragraphs must be included
here.
"By 1864 two Freemasons were living in the Settlement —
John Christian Schultz, who played such a prominent part in the
early history of our Province; and Charles Curtis, who was a
blacksmith in the Sturgeon Creek area, and who was married to
Cecilia, a daughter of John and Mary Inkster of Seven Oaks
House, West Kildonan. These two Freemasons — Schultz and
Curtis — early in 1864 sponsored five prominent local men,
namely: — Andrew G. B. Bannatyne, William Inkstei, W. B.
Hall, Robert Morgan and William Coldwell — into Northern
Light Lodge at Pembina, North Dakota. These seven Freemasons
on their return to the Settlement together with one more recent
arrival — Matthew Connar — petitioned the Grand Lodge of
Minnesota to sponsor a lodge in the Red River Settlement. This
request was granted by renewing the Dispensation to the military
lodge at Pembina, only removing its place of meeting to the
Red River Settlement. This was possible as the cavalry detach-
ment at Pembina was being moved away. The Lodge was active
for the first few years, but ceased to exist either in 1868 or 1869
owing to the troubles in the Settlement that culminated in the
Riel Affair. The actual original petition, dated April 27th, 1864,
and written in long hand by A. G. B. Bannatyne, was presented
to us in 1955 by the Grand Lodge of Minnesota. The writing
and signatures on this document are still quite legible. At this
time — 1864 — not more than six or seven buildings existed
20 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
in what is now Winnipeg, and they were all located in the area
of what is now Portage Avenue and Main Street.
"In 1870, three months after the Wolseley Expedition had
arrived in the Settlement to deal with the so-called Riel Provincial
Government, nine Freemasons from among the troops applied
to the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario for a
Dispensation to form a lodge to be known as Winnipeg Lodge
to meet at Fort Garry. The Dispensation was granted under
date of November 21st, 1870. Before a Charter was issued,
the Lodge requested its name be changed to Prince Rupert's
Lodge, and in 1871 a Charter was issued under this name, and
numbered 240 under the registry of the Grand Lodge of Canada
in Ontario. . . .
"It is sad to have to relate that in 1878, three years after
the formation of this Grand Lodge, a serious schism developed
among the brethren which resulted in two Grand Lodges existing
in Manitoba for a short period. The trouble developed over which
ritual would be authorized — the Canadian work as practised
in Ontario, or what we refer to as the American work often
spoken of as the "York" rite. In 1879 M.W. Bro. Rev. Canon
S. P. Matheson was elected Grand Master of the original Grand
Lodge, and at the same time was asked to endeavour to heal
the breach between the two bodies. He earned the eternal
gratitude of all the brethren by obtaining a complete reconcili-
ation within four months. This was made possible by permitting
use of the two rituals in the jurisdiction, and allowing the Lodges
the option of choice. At the present time 9 Lodges follow the
American work and 101 prefer the Canadian ritual." (The total
is four less than the 114 given at the head of this review).

At the Quarterly Communication, March 13, the Grand
Master referred to a trip for Masons. The notices had gone out
but the Proceedings did not show what was planned. Various
Masonic groups, he said, have promoted trips, cruises, etc.,
but not many.
Throughout the year the Grand Lodge kept in mind the
pledge to make the Grand Lodge Building "the safest, cleanest
and best kept building in the city of Boston." Many improve-
ments were made to the outside planters, wiring and locks.
A new addition to the existing infirmary at the home in
Charlton made possible the moving of the guests from the

M.W. Bro. G. N. Sandor was born in Hungary, received
his university education in Berlin (he holds the degree of
Doctor of Chemical Engineering) and after some years of
teaching at the Technical University of Berlin, migrated to
Mexico, where he is an independent business man. His Masonic
career has been entirely Mexican and he was initiated in Anahuac
Lodge No. 3. The roll of Past Grand Masters shows that the
office has been held by many distinguished Masons of diverse
origins and language.
The Grand Master speaking of the state of the Craft
talked of the problems facing many jurisdictions: poor attend-
ance, lack of young leaders and the problem of members,
22 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
travelling from work to home and back into the city to attend
lodge. But, in his mind the more serious problem, basically,
is that we are no longer men of our word. Our vows and obli-
gations are too often more honored in the breach, and the
majority of our members take too much advantage of the loop-
holes in our obligations, such as "the length of my cabletow",
"I deeming them worthy", etc. "While it may be true that a man
may be of good standing in his community and so reflect
favorably on our Order, we should face the fact that he must
have been a good man before he became a Mason, and that if
he has not attended Lodge we have contributed nothing to his
character, his morals, or to his rectitude of conduct. It is im-
possible that a Mason who has never attended or studied after
being raised can have any real appreciation of what our ritual
really means, of what our symbols are intended to teach, or
to have been influenced in any profound way by our order.
Thus, at a time when the world is in desperate need of men
truly imbued with the spirit of Freemasonry, we are letting mil-
lions wander unaided and untaught because we have failed to
impart to them the Light we promised when they knelt at our
Altars. "

The Grand Master drew particular attention to the work
of the Michigan Masonic Home. The number of residents in
1974 was 279 and in 1975 was 271. There were 165 patients
in the hospital. At the end of the 1975 year there were no ap-
plicants approved and waiting. The report lists the ages at death
of residents. The one aged 105 stands out in the column.
The Committee on Masonic Historiology gave an inform-
ative account of John Pitts Sheldon, an early journalist, who
first published the Detroit Gazette on July 25, 1817. He was a
member of Zion Lodge No. 1. In 1829, Sheldon was jailed for
nine days for contempt of court for criticizing a court decision.
When the University of Michigan was founded in 1817, two-
thirds of the amount subscribed was given by members of Zion
Lodge No. 62.
The Senior Citizens Committee reported that prior to 1974
ten "Masonic Retirees Clubs" had been formed and were flour-
ishing. The club in the Kalamazoo area meets in a circuit of
15 lodges. During the year five new clubs were formed.

The Grand Master presented an enthusiastic report on the
state of the Craft in Minnesota. In travelling over the State he
found unusual activity and new interest in constituent lodges.
The work he found to be universally excellent. The net loss in
membership is to be explained by the great number of deaths.
The number of petitions and raisings increased by 100. At the
same time the number of resignations and suspensions decreased
considerably. The Grand Master wrote a personal letter to all
those whose names were on lists for suspension. He received
many replies.
There are new temples, old ones are being remodelled and
proper maintenance is evident.
In 1962-63, the Grand Lodge set up a programme of
scholarships "to assist high school graduates to continue their
education," the grants to be divided equally between boys and
girls. Each Public Senior High School is permitted to nominate
one senior boy and girl. This is not an essay contest, to be found
in some jurisdictions. This year Grand Lodge doubled the
number of awards. Eight students received grants: two of $1,000
and six of $500.
The Jurisdiction supports several "Perpetual Projects."
Among these are the Minnesota Masonic Home, according to
the Grand Master "the finest in the nation" and the Minnesota
Masonic Foundation, Inc. The purpose of the latter is to make
tax deductible funds available for charitable, educational and
scientific study. The Review last year gave information about
the Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund.

Fifteen lodges were late with their annual returns making
it necessary for the Grand Secretary to provide unadjusted
statistics. Although six lodges amalgamated as three, the loss in
total lodges was partially made up by the granting of dispens-
ations to two.
The Grand Master made what was certainly a sound ruling.
"An inquiry was made concerning use of a tape recorder
during discussion on lodge business. It was felt a member should
be able to refer to obligations and other esoteric matter in his
comments. It is my ruling that use of a tape recorder during a
tiled subordinate lodge meeting for recording purposes is pro-
hibited. This ruling does not apply to the use of a recording
machine or court reporter during a trial."
The question does arise: Why was the request made in the
first instance? This reviewer has not seen a similar problem in
all his years of reviewing.
One lodge refused to comply with the requirements of the
Building Supervisory Board as set out in the Grand Lodge law.
When the lodge complied the Grand Master placed it under
the supervision of the D.D.G.M., and after six months released
it from suspension, after being assured that the lodge would
comply with the Grand Lodge law in the future.
The Grand Master issued two edicts. The first declared
the "Universal League of Freemasons" clandestine. The second
forbad any Missouri lodge or Missouri Mason from purchasing
or using slides or film strips for use in a section of the Second
Degree.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 25
Among his miscellaneous comments, the Grand Master said:
"Although it appears that we will again lose membership
this year, I find that a more positive attitude has developed
around the state toward Masonry, that many young men are
now petitioning the Fraternity and that the older members of
the Fraternity are placing these young men in positions of
leadership. I feel that aggressive leadership is a must if the
Masonic Fraternity is to continue to prosper. . .
"I find the state of the Masonic Fraternity throughout
Missouri is good. I find that more Masons are acting as Masons
should and I have yet to encounter a Mason in whom I could
not find some good."

For over thirty years, under a special section of the Constitu-
on and By-laws of the Grand Lodge, that body has operated an
employment Bureau to aid Freemasons and their relatives to
secure employment" in St. Louis. Early in 1975, the Board in
charge began furnishing employment service for non-members. On
being questioned, the chairman explained that any other policy
would be a violation of Federal law. Thus the Board found itself
in the position of violating either the Federal law or the Grand
Lodge Constitution. The Grand Lodge ended the operation.
The Grand Lodge, in public ceremonies, laid cornerstones of
three educational buildings and a new courthouse. Twelve other
communications involved the laying of cornerstones or the dedi-
cation of new or newly acquired lodge buildings.

Montana acted as host to the 22nd annual Rocky Mountain
Conference. Delegates attended from five states and the gather-
ing was considered a success. Montana's paper for the 23rd
conference was to be "Discharging our Responsibilities to Masons'
Widows", a topic which might bear wider discussion.
A proposal that each constituent lodge increase its dues to
cover any 50-year member unable to continue owing to hard-
ship was rejected. One speaker in the discussion pointed out
that the Grand Lodge already waives the per capita levy of
$7.75 and any lodge was at liberty to remit dues. He argued
that the matter rested with the lodge alone.
The Special Committee to Study Masonic Home, appointed
two years before to study the finances of the home, presented a
lengthy report. They pointed out that there were many argu-
ments for closing or phasing it out while at the same time many
of these were specious and superficial. The Home has a cap-
acity of 65 or 70 residents but the average has remained
steadily at 50 for several years. And costs have rocketed. On the
other hand closing the operation would be "a breach of faith"
with the founder and countless other Masons who have contri-
buted funds and services over 65 years. The Committee there-
fore recommended "that the Montana Masonic Home should
continue to function under its present mode of operation until,
when and if that becomes impossible." The recommendation
was adopted.

The Grand Lodge met in a Special Communication to conse-
crate, dedicate, and constitute Nevada Lodge of Research No. 1.
That the Grand Lodge intends to encourage this lodge to be
active was shown by two recommendations of the Grand Master.
first that the body should consider the establishing of a periodical
communication and secondly draw up "a distinct charter form"
consistent with the Nevada Code.
The Grand Master gave a most practical address. He admitted
that the Jurisdiction has problems. "They range from A to Z,
such as attendance, education, finances, ritual, viability and even
zealousness." But to be honest "we should not believe that we'll
solve them all now and settle the issues for all time." He suggested
taking one thing at a time. The most pressing problem is "unin-
flated charges and fees." As he said "One hundred years ago our
petition fee translated into at least an average month's wages . . .
With today's devalued dollar, our low fees and dues do not
command attention of quality-conscious people, those who shy
away from considering a price quoted too low because there's
got to be something wrong with a price so far out of line."
A second problem, related to the first, he said, was education.
Proper Masonic education is basic in Masonry. He developed this
theme in a way which one cannot fail to support. The Grand
Lodge was focussing on these two matters.
As usual the Grand Lodge laid several cornerstones for edu-
cational institutions.

Two brief paragraphs in the Grand Master's address stand
out.
"Masonry, in a sense, is a business — big business. We
may not be operating for a monetary profit, however, our re-
ward for a successful operation is far greater than any that
can be measured in dollars and cents. We should establish our
goals, the same as any successful enterprise does. At the begin-
ning of every new year, we should establish our goals and make
every effort throughout the year to attain them. Only by so
doing will we prove ourselves worthy of the trust reposed in us. . .
"The challenge to Masons is whether they are too busy with
other things, or whether times are so different that they don't
have time or can't make Freemasonry's light shine to be visible.
What we need is to keep the light burning. If that light is kept
burning, others will be attracted to our craft, seeking the light,
because they have seen it in us. So, in other words, it is up to
us to increase our candle power."
The speaker at the Grand Lodge lunch was our own then
R.W. Bro. Nancekivell. His "message was accorded a standing
ovation." Subsequently, the M.W. The Grand Master invested
him "with the John Beardsley Medallion, a token of our
fraternal relations with our Ontario Brethren."

The Grand Master was pleased with what he saw of
Masonry in his Jurisdiction. As he said:
"It is pleasing to note that membership losses are smaller
this year than in past years. I dare to hope that this is because
of an ascending morality in society. The Masonic Fraternity
has always gathered to itself men of high moral integrity.
Masonry teaches morality and expects its members to learn
certain moral lessons and to practice them in their lives. As
Masons continue to exemplify morality, courage, patriotism,
integrity and honor and to practice Brotherly love, Relief and
Truth so will men of high standards and good character be
attracted to it.
"As I travel over the State, I find the Masonic Buildings and
Temples in good condition and appearance. This is important
to Masonry's image to the general public, but is also an indi-
cation of the importance of these structures to the individual
Mason.''

Although Masonry is strong in the State, a few lodges must
consider amalgamation or surrendering their charters. The
Grand Master did not mince matters and spelled out conditions
in great detail. The movement of population from some centres
seems to be the reason behind most of the decline.
The Grand Master became interested in the Seal of the
Grand Lodge of New Mexico. Although he had often seen the
seal he had never studied it before. He saw that the square
and compasses were set in the First Degree. He then studied the
seal of each state to determine how the square and compasses
were placed. He found that 7 states; namely, Arkansas, Delaware,
New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin
were all set in the First Degree; that Louisiana, Maine and
Texas were set in the Second Degree; that 14 were set in the
Third Degree; that 16 had no square and compasses as such
and that 7 were entirely indistinguishable.
Here is a quick quiz. What is the distinguishing character-
istic of the seal of our Grand Lodge?
The New Mexico Freemason, in its 40th year, is sent monthly

Since the Grand Lodge meets quarterly in formal Communi-
cation, a reader of the annual report can count on reading four
fine addresses by the Grand Master. At the first of the year the
Grand Master began on a high note. "Freemasonry aims at nothing
less than the highest attainments which men can make in moral
truth and worth. It seeks to promote and secure these by appropri-
ate means from all members of the Order; it seeks to promote
intellectual improvement; it seeks to promote the peace and well-
being of society; it seeks to promote domestic happiness calling
upon every Brother to the constant discharge of his duties in all
relations which he sustains; as a subject and a citizen.
"Freemasonry seeks to unite peoples of all races and shades
of religious and political opinion into a common fellowship with
one another.
"To this end Freemasons meet not only at their regular
meetings but also organize and participate in social and charitable
activities."
Three subsequent addresses reached the same level.
The most important Communication of the year, and indeed
the most important in perhaps forty years, was the Special Com-
munication of June 23, 1975, called to vote on the tender for the
construction of the Masonic Memorial centre at the corner of
Castlereagh and Goulburn Streets, Sydney. The site was not in
question as it had been approved several times. The financing was
arranged in 1973. The final act remained. After lengthy discussion,
Grand Lodge accepted the tender.
Over the years, these Reviews have given a great deal of in-
formation regarding the project. Now we can wait to read of the
completion and opening of the magnificent new building.

Although the loss in membership was large it must be
looked at against the total of deaths — 6,993. At the same time,
the increase was impressive, with 3,247 initiated. The average
age of members is going down. The Grand Lodge is encouraging
the initiation of younger members. The Grand Master referred
to this trend in his address.
"Many of you will remember that we talked a year ago
about the idea of reduction in Lodge fees for younger members.
32 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
It is gratifying to note that many of the Lodges have tried this
and are reporting gratifying results. This is entirely a matter of
a Lodge's own decision because the control of your fees and
dues, outside of what goes to Grand Lodge, is entirely within
the scope of your own by-laws.
"There is a double advantage of such a reduction in fees.
You are not only much better off financially to pick up a
young man at ages between 21 and 29 because you have dues
from that Brother for a much longer time than if you had
passed him up until he might be 35 or 40 or even 50 years of
age. In addition, you have the benefit of the longer service and
more youthful enthusiasm and contributions to Lodge thinking
and Lodge programs during this time when you would not
otherwise have had him as a member."
He could have gone a step further by pointing out that the
initiate could also enjoy the association of the Fraternity for
many more years.
At the same time, the Grand Master pointed out some of
the pitfalls in life memberships, a message not applicable only
in New York.
"A word of caution is suggested again in regard to life
memberships. There are still many of our Lodges which are
suffering financially because of earlier plans to extend life
membership too early in the Masonic life of some of their mem-
bers. To be a fair arrangement for a Lodge, a life membership
fee should be adequate to take care of reasonable return for each
year of life expectancy of the member at any given time on
actuarial tables. If your Lodge has or contemplates life mem-
bership, we urge a careful study of its relationship to this safety
factor."

The Board of General Purposes reviewed the regulations
regarding dress. This investigation showed that in some parts
of the country members are experiencing difficulties in main-
taining the custom of wearing full evening dress on normal
meeting nights and* "the practice of wearing dinner suits has
perforce become usual." The Board proposed an amendment
to the rule as it stands which ran "Masonic dress should always
be of the highest current standards and the permissible altern-
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 33
atives in dress shall be as laid down in a General Instruction to
Lodges, issued from time to time by the Board of General
Purposes."
The motion produced a lengthy discussion. Some thought
the proposal was too vague. Most objection, however, arose
from the fear that Masonry would lose something if standards
were lowered. One speaker spoke eloquently and well from this
point of view.
"Our Masonic attire has always been a part of our trad-
ition, and supplied an image, not only among ourselves, but
also in the community at large. May I dare to suggest that it
may be considered a landmark of our Order, and such a suggest-
ed radical change in the law may be an innovation in Masonry.
Our own ritual explains the significance of the lambskin with its
pure and spotless surface, and our physical bodies are a symbol
of actions throughout life. So I believe our garments should be
of the best, so that we may be better prepared to receive that
spotless and faultless philosophy which Masonry offers us.
We are asking, if we pass this motion, that future Boards become
fashion consultants and provide rulings that in themselves, I
believe, will be unwieldy and impractical to police. Associations
of all cultures, fraternal organizations, sporting bodies, and
groups, hold fast to their traditional dress, and let us do the
same and maintain the image of which we are well known.
It is so easy these days to lower standards. Let us keep the line
up to the high standards which we have at present with our
dress, and not lower the standards back to the line."
The motion was defeated.
In his address at Installation, the Grand Master expressed
the hope that before the Grand Lodge celebrates its centenary
that the lodges of other Constitutions still in existence in New
Zealand would unite in one Grand Lodge.
He drew his address to a close with two eloquent para-
graphs.
"In this great Institution of ours there are wonderful op-
portunities and sound foundations for every Brother to follow
the recommendations in the North East charge. 'To raise a
superstructure perfect in its parts and honourable to the builder.'
In raising any structure six essentials are necessary; integrity
must be the architect, faithfulness the artificer, it must be
warmed be affection, lighted by cheerfulness, and ventilated
by industry, while over all the acceptance that the great Architect
may approve of all we have tried to do.
"Freemasonry responds today to the call of human nature,
and the needs of the heart just as readily as it did centuries ago.
Its tenets have ever been a response to the world's needs, and
34 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
why, because Freemasonry stands for things that are eternal.
Until the tenets of the Craft are demonstrated in our daily
lives we are but ritualists only, and not Freemasons, honorary or
passive members instead of honorable and active workers in our
great institution."

The Grand Lodge '76 Committee reported that a history
of Masonry in North Carolina would be coming off the press
in a few months. The history covers the period from the begin-
nings to 1800.
The Grand Master inspected numerous one-storey lodge
buildings in the State and found them entirely satisfactory on
all counts. He approved the construction of five more.
A member of the Craft, a professor at Duke University,
requested the Grand Master to grant permission "for the Grand
Lodge Education Committee to join with the Sociology Depart-
ment at Duke University in conducting a survey of Freemasons
in North Carolina. The purpose of the survey would be to
determine what induces a man to petition for the degrees of
Masonry; from what walk of life do most petitioners come;
what motivates Masons; what Masonry means to the average
Mason; how Masonry fits into the life style of members of the
fraternity, etc."
The Grand Master, who admitted that he would like to know
some of the answers himself, wisely we would all agree, de-
clined to grant the request. As he wrote:
"I believe there are more men of good will than there are
otherwise, but I know that there are some left-wing radicals at
Duke, and equally as large a number at my alma mater at
Chapel Hill, who would love to get their hands on the answers
to the proposed questions in order to ridicule and portray our
beloved fraternity in a contemptuous, scurrilous and disdainful
way and manner. At the same time, the answers to these quest-
ions could reveal that a number of our members, whose names
would be anonymous, are guilty of unMasonic conduct and
perhaps the answers to some questions would subject the anony-
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 35
mous individuals to expulsion, so that thereafter, we would have
those among our number which should be expelled but whom
we could not identify.
"Therefore, all things being considered, the contingent evils
far outweigh the good which we may hope to receive from any
such project. The opportunities for us to exemplify the teachings
of our fraternity are so innumerable. I do not believe that we
should 'cast our pearls before swine,' and thereby run the risk
of being humiliated, ridiculed and bemocked by those who
would destroy us."
Although this Reviewer is not given to making personal
comments on the decisions in Grand Jurisdictions, he cannot
refrain from adding: "Furthermore it was none of their busi-
ness."

The retiring Grand Secretary reported that 200 candidates
were raised to the M.M. degree during the year. This figure has
not been matched or surpassed since 1967. He recommended that
an effort be made to pre-register representatives from lodges to
cut down on congestion at the registration desk. Since the Com-
mittee on Credentials reported an attendance of only 253, this
Reviewer humbly suggests that our system might give some ideas
to North Dakota.
The Grand Secretary also drew attention to the forthcoming
Centennial of the Grand Lodge in 14 years. He suggested that
all members be assessed a small amount now with the proceeds to
be invested in long term certificates. He also had a good idea
with the suggestion that all lodges should set up a relief fund,
with the regular purpose in mind but with the difference that
when a brother, through financial adversity cannot pay his dues,
rather than remitting them they would be paid out of the relief
fund. In this way lodge incomes would not be impaired. The
Grand Master made the establishment of such funds one of
his recommendations.
One reads with surprise a recommendation of the Grand
Master: "I recommend that more emphasis be put on developing
our ritualistic work in our Lodges. At the present time a number
of our Lodges are not able to do their own degree work."

The Grand Secretary, R.W. Bro. H. F. Sipprell, presented
his 18th report. Although there was a decline in membership,
raisings, affiliations and reinstatements showed small but grati-
fying gains. Suspensions also were down by 14. The withdrawal
of Polaris Lodge No. 114, Goose Bay, Labrador, dealt with at
some length in last year's Review, in mid-year resulted in a loss
of 184.
In 1875 five lodges received warrants. Four are still work-
ing. The Grand Historian showed how the Grand Lodge had
developed in a century. Membership rose from 3,295 to
11,358 and lodges from 63 to 117. He also gave a full account
of Polaris Lodge No. 114, mentioned above.

Under the heading "Still no letup" the Grand Secretary re-
ported that fire had struck two lodges. He was prompted to ask
"Is your lodge next?"
Five brethren proposed that the Grand Lodge permit dual
membership, not at present permitted by the Ohio Code. The
proposal was turned over to the appropriate committees to be
brought up at the 1976 Annual Communication.
The Masonic Home added a new extended care facility
capable of providing an additional 78 beds. The Home has almost
500 residents with an average age of 8IY2 years. The final para-
graph of the report, though brief, gives a great deal of information.
"The Endowment Fund of the Home continues to increase.
It is now in excess of $26,000,000. The income from this fund
is used in the operation of the Home, and for the past few years
has provided about one third of the operating expenses. The
operation of the Home runs a little over $3,000,000 per year, with
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 37
this fund providing over $1,000,000. The operation of your Home
is BIG business."
The Temples Committee approved twelve projects involving
improvements of Masonic temples. The total money involved in
the requests amounted to approximately $800,000.
For fourteen years the History Committee has urged all
lodges to complete lodge histories. So far, 376 lodges have com-
pleted and filed their histories.

The Indian Masonic Degree Team travelled to New Hamp-
shire to confer the M.M. degree. The Grand Master accompanied
them. Eighteen hundred, including the Grand Master of New
Hampshire, attended. The team was organized in 1959 and at
first, when members were sick or storm bound, did use some
"white brothers." In recent years, however, because of the in-
creased number of Indian members, substitutions have not been
required.
The Grand Lodge of Indian Territory was organized at
Caddo, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, October 5-7, 1874.
The degree team appropriately conferred their 100th M.M. degree
on a full blood Caddo on January 11, 1975, in Tulsa.
The Grand Lodge met in special communication on
October 5, 1974 to unveil a historical marker to commemorate
the centenary of the first Grand Lodge of the Territory.

Despite a loss in membership, the Grand Master found the
general state of the Craft in Oregon to be good. The financial
38 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
condition of all lodges appears to be entirely satisfactory. The
smaller lodges, in some places, are suffering from the loss of
resident members.
For some years, Oregon Military Lodge No. 223, Frankfurt,
Germany, has been faced with the problem of meeting on the
military base. The present base commander has refused to extend
the right and the Lodge will have to move within the year. Several
options are open to the Lodge. One is to surrender the charter
and transfer "the Lodge under the jurisdiction of the American-
Canadian Land Grand Lodge."
The Committee on Recognition of other Grand Lodges
approved the recognition of The Grand Lodge of Parana, Brazil.
The Grand Lodge office is housed at the Masonic Home,
Forest Grove, Oregon. A movement to establish a branch office
in the Portland area did not meet with success.

The Committee on Masonic Temples, Halls and Lodge
Rooms reported that there has been a great deal of activity
throughout the Jurisdiction, with some Lodges erecting new
buildings and others buying existing buildings and converting
them to Masonic use. Others have acquired land with a view
to erecting buildings at a later date. The list of activities is long
and impressive and bears out the statement of the Committee.
Some of the plans are most ambitious. A lodge in Pittsburg is
asking permission to buy a four storey national bank building
for $100,000 to provide lodge accommodation and a rental
income. Another paid $50,000 for a youth centre building. Yet
another purchased a church which, with improvements, will
cost $50,000. Three of the buildings bought for conversion were
churches. The Committee told of one building of unique con-
struction "in that it is built with all steel framing, cement floors
and a special type wall panelling that is finished on both sides.
It is patterned after one of the Grand Lodge plans." The build-
ing has become a showplace in the western area of Pennsylvania.
Many lodges have sent representatives to study it. The cost
was low as the major part of the work was contributed.

The Grand Master reported that Le Club d'Etude Macon-
nique Francophone (The Francophone Club for the study of
Masonry) had been organized by the four Francophone lodges
in Quebec and was operating with an enthusiastic membership,
basically French-speaking, but open to all Masons.
In addition "La Chaine d'Union" was introduced accom-
panied by a Golden Book of record which will be carried alter-
nately from a French-speaking to an English-speaking lodge and
back to a French-speaking and so continuing, by delegations
of visitors.
The dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church continues.
Five meetings, which took place during the year produced a
document for presentation to the secretary of the Assembly of
Bishops of Quebec. In brief, the document stated that "regular
Freemasonry, in which ranks the Grand Lodge of Quebec,
presents itself to us as a non-confessional association which
applies itself to developing civic and moral personality, limiting
itself however to the human level. But it does not intend to go
so far as to deny a superior plan.
"What is more, and it is our second conclusion, regular Free-
masonry offers nothing in its Constitutions which can legitimately
permit believing or saying that it plots against the Catholic
Church. Consequently, it does not fall under the condemnation
of canon 2335 of the C.I.C. (Code of Canon Law) . . .
"The climate in which we live is not that of the first half of
the 20th century. Moreover, and this seems to us of first import-
ance in the case of Freemasonry, there exist among us many
prejudices touching the nature and activities and secret societies.
And when we say 'among us' we mean as much among the
clergy as among the faithful. Therefore are we convinced that an
engagement within this domain imposes itself; prejudices are
tenacious."

At the Semi-Annual Communication, a Past Grand Master
proposed that a ruling going back to 1898 which forbad the use
of "steroptican and robes" in degree work be amended to forbid
the use of robes only. The thought of the meeting was that the
ruling should stand unamended.
Berlin Lodge No. 46 has been dissolved and is now Berlin
46 Lodge No. 933 of the United Grand Lodge of Germany. Such
dissolutions can cause problems, for example, as where interested
brethren can join another lodge and what is to be done about
life memberships. In a ruling the Grand Master stated that all
members should retain membership in a lodge of their choice
and that he felt certain that the Grand Lodge would assist in
every way possible.
The Grand Master supported an 1866 ruling which forbids
a lodge from marching in a procession or to appear in public as
a lodge, except "for the burial of a brother or for the performance
of Masonic work."

The Committee on The Tracing Board submitted its 35th
annual report. The Editor explained that the Committee tries to
focus attention on the various Masonic activities in which mem-
bers are engaged such as the interpretation of the symbolic teach-
ings of the Craft; the challenge to Masonic Research and Edu-
cation; the Grand Master's and Grand Secretary's monthly con-
tributions all of which supply vital information needed in the
successful functioning of the lodges; and many other topics.
The Committee on Masonic Research and Education re-
ported that all members of the Committee had prepared one or
more papers for The Tracing Board. So eager were the members
when invited to submit papers that some submitted several. The
Committee stated that the year under review had been marked by
the "continual resurgence of interest and activity in the realm
of research and education in the lodges." The number of lodges
with active educational committees rose significantly.
A recently established but active group is named The Grand
Master's Continuing Committee. This body established a Task
Force of 22 keen and interested Masons from all parts of the
Jurisdiction to study the problems of 61 lodges. The Task Force
found that the communities in which these lodges are located
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 41
have been declining in population and that while the decline seems
to have been stabilized the prospect of future growth seems to be
unlikely. Many communities have religious and ethnic groups
which do not usually join Masonic lodges.

Freemasonry appears to be flourishing in Nigeria. During
the year the Grand Lodge received no fewer than five applica-
tions for the formation of new lodges from there. The Grand
Lodge also approved the formation of a new lodge in Labrador
City, Labrador. Several more were approved in Ghana and, of
course, Scotland.
M.W. Bro. Gordon was re-elected Grand Master Mason for
the ensuing year. Speaking at the Festival of St. Andrew, he told
of his travels in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Rhodesia,
Transvaal and the Orange Free State. On occasion he did wonder
what language his party would find themselves working in. At
one place a piper appeared "in the full glory of Royal Stewart
tartan kilt, plaid, dirk, broadsword, feather bonnet" who spoke
nothing but Afrikaans. The Grand Master Mason had trouble
explaining what he wanted played. He pointed out, however,
that regardless of language, these brethren were true Scots Masons.
In speaking of Masonry in general he said :
"I said at this time last year that you should form new
Lodges, and I am not going to go into that again, but what I would
like to say, Brethren, is that you should make your Masonry more
obvious to the outside world. Looking back ... we used to lay
foundation stones. Any major civic function was enhanced by the
presence of the local Lodge, the local Provincial Grand Lodge,
even the Grand Lodge of Scotland, taking part, and an active
part, in their proceedings, and that is something which we can
still do today. We have retired into our Lodge rooms for too
long, and I personally am delighted to see Brethren — unfortunately,
frequently it is only to attend funerals — at least appearing in
public as Masons to let the world see who they are and what
they are."
42 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
He concluded with a stirring statement with which we all
must concur:
'"Be not ashamed of being Masons. Go forward and do work
which will be seen by the community in which you live to be
for the benefit of the community as such. With our organization,
our skill and our knowledge of humanity we can bring forward
something which really will improve the quality of life, and that
is what really matters — to improve the quality of life for the
community in which we live, whether it be next door or five
miles, ten miles away, or throughout the whole of Scotland and
the rest of the world."

The membership appears to have stabilized as the decline has
been steadily decreasing since 1968 when it reached 1,109.
The Grand Master spoke on "Holiness" at the Half-yearly
Communication. He explained why he had chosen the theme.
"Basically, brethren, it is in relation to the movement for the
reformation and updating of the work, as distinct from the teach-
ings, of the Craft which is going on in this State and in many
other places today. I felt that after nearly two years of doing this,
we ought to stand back a little and see what we are doing
and where we are going. Holiness . . . has to do with that
fundamental religious sense that cannot be equated just with
goodness, truth or beauty — the sense of awe and wonder before
the ultimate mystery — which fundamental religious sense . . .
is present in a whole range of human experience from the most
primitive superstition to the most exalted vision of the saint.
"Now the whole idea of our ceremonies is to bring us face
to face with the deep questions which haunt the mind of every
man as he goes through this human life: How did we come
here? What should we be doing while we are here? Where do
we go from here? If in all our reforms we lose this, then we
lose the central part of our teaching."
He went on to say "We in the Craft pride ourselves on having
led men to pierce below the surface of things into the mystery
beneath, and this surely is what the saints, which simply means
the holy ones, have done in every generation. . . . Would you please
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 43
when you are considering all the reforms and alterations which
may be made for the better working of the Craft, keep this concept
all the time in the back of your minds. Unless it achieves this
object, even though we have greater efficiency, better presentation,
a more effective grip on men's minds, we have won the battle
but lost the war."

The Grand Master, remembering the frustrations he suffered
as a young Mason when trying to secure Masonic books and
literature, tried to "initiate some in-depth study session where
those who were truly interested could come together and grapple
with Masonic subjects." He held a session on Masonic history
which was well attended.
The Grand Secretary drew up a suitable certificate for
lodges to present to outgoing Worshipful Masters.
The Special Committee on Past Grand Masters' Photographs

The South Dakota Board of Cultural Preservation has ap-
proved The Grand Lodge Library Building, Sioux Falls, for in-
clusion in the South Dakota Register of Historic Places. This
property will now be nominated to the National Register of
Historic Places.
The Grand Treasurer-Secretary had a special project of ac-
quiring state flags from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
These are 3' x 5' flags "to be used in our Masonic Parade during
44 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
our centennial observance." After that they will be on permanent
display in the Grand Lodge Building. All the Grand Jurisdictions
"generously supplied flags without cost."
The first copies of the Masonic history "The First 100 Years"
were ready for sale at the Annual Communication in 1974.
"Inasmuch as South Dakota is fortunate to have the only gold
mine in North America," a statement which must be true as the
Grand Treasurer-Secretary says so, the Grand Lodge incorporated
the gold theme at the Grand Lodge banquet, with "gold dust"
sprinkled on the tables. Each of those present received a small
piece of gold ore on a small card, "both furnished by the Home-
stake Mine in Lead." Lead is a town in Lawrence County, a
necessary explanation as the association of gold and lead is
slightly confusing to Ontario residents.

For some reason we overlooked this Grand Lodge last year,
consequently any information given now is somewhat belated.
The Grand Master noted with deep regret the death of M.W. Bro.
Colin Graham Botha, the first Grand Master of the Grand Lodge
of Southern Africa (1961-66). M.W. Bro. Conradie felt obliged
to retire from his office, after seven years of service and M.W.
Bro. S. R. Gasson was installed in his stead. In his farewell address
M.W. Bro. Conradie reported that three lodges were consecrated
during the year, bringing the total to sixteen during seven years.
He also told of a significant development which came when a
Dominee of the Dutch Reformed Church asked if the Grand
Lodge would consider making a donation to the Transoranje
Institute (a non-sectarian school for deaf, partially sighted and
epileptic children run under the auspices of the Dutch Reformed
Church). This was the first time a representative of that body
had made such a request to Freemasons. The implication was
that the Church does not particularly favour Freemasonry. The
Grand Lodge was happy to contribute R500 with a promise
of a further R200. (Almost $1000.00 altogether).

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 45
In accordance with a motion passed at the half-yearly Com-
munication on August 31, 1974, the Board of General Purposes
appointed a planning committee to organize a Tasmanian Masonic
Conference. Some of the points laid down were: The conference
was to run on a Saturday and Sunday, each lodge would be invited
to send three delegates, not necessarily W.M.'s, P.M.'s. or Wardens,
who would be expected to defray their own costs, a registration
fee would be charged to defray administrative costs. The pro-
gramme was to be planned later and the results of the Conference
were to be published.
This reviewer admits that he is at a loss to understand the
purpose of a brief motion, under the heading "Changes of Ritual",
duly moved and carried which ran: "that Lodges be advised that
the letter of last July relating to the non-movement of the Ashlars
be regarded as a recommendation from the Board of General
Purposes, thus allowing Lodges to use their own discretion."
In speaking of the loss of members, the Grand Master
made some excellent points. He suggested that they would not
be lost if properly trained and interested from the start. "They
come into our Order because they have preconceived a good
opinion of it, and then found that they were given stones instead
of bread. ... In many cases they are taught nothing, and then
told that they are to afford assistance and instruction to the
brethren in the inferior degrees. It is a wonder that so many
stay." He suggested that the Brethren are neglected by their
sponsors and are not acquainted with Freemasonry before they
join it. He wanted proposers and seconders to collect their
candidate personally and conduct him to the lodge. Furthermore
he wanted sponsors to accompany their candidate to the lodge
for a year and to sit with him.
TENNESSEE — 1975
161st Annual Communication — March 26-27.
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. J. C. Smith
Grand Master, 1975-76 — M.W. Bro. G. R. Baddour
Lodges, 389. Membership, 96,925. Gain, 550.
The gain in membership of 550 was the largest since 1967
when it was 584.
The Grand Master officiated at the dedication ceremonies
for fifteen lodges and laid cornerstones for two court houses.
In 1874 the Grand Lodge issued charters to seventeen
lodges. Nine are still working. Most of these celebrated their
centenaries with appropriate ceremonies. One lodge celebrated
its 150th anniversary.
46 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
The Grand Master paid a tribute to the First Methodist
Church of Alcoa, of which he is minister. The congregation
approved his plans to serve in his high office and pledged their
support during the year. He was not required to miss many
Sundays.
The Jurisprudence Committee recommended against a pro-
posal of the Grand Master that a Master Mason in good stand-
ing, living out of Tennessee, be permitted to affiliate in another
jurisdiction while retaining his original membership.
TEXAS — 1974
139th Annual Communication — December 4-5.
Grand Master, 1973-74 — M.W. Bro. D. B. Jordan
Grand Master, 1974-75 — M.W. Bro. R. B. O'Connor
Lodges, 969. Membership, 238,454. Loss, 2,107.
The roll of lodges increased by two with the granting of
two charters. The greatest loss during the year came from
5.108 deaths. Initiations totalled 4,892. Sixteen lodges celebrated
centenaries.
The Masonic Home and School reached the goal of an
endowment fund of eight million dollars with a figure of
$8,290,948. The development programme was begun in 1967
when the Fund was under four million dollars. The school,
fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency, for kinder-
garten through grade 12, had an enrollment of 208. The Home
for Aged Masons cared for 63 widows.
The Committee on Masonic Education and Service carries
on many programmes. The largest is the publication of The
Texas Freemason. Another responsibility besides publication, is
the maintenance of "The Masonic Oak" property, owned by
the Grand Lodge. The Committee kept up the grounds, trimmed
the trees and kept the fence in good repair. The Committee also
continued marking the graves of deceased Past Grand Masters.
The Grand Master, in view of the two million Mexican
American citizens in Texas, tentatively put forward the question
as to whether the Grand Lodge should "experiment'' in larger
communities with Spanish. Actually the Grand Lodge has
already done something. A conference was held in Eagle Pass,
Texas, with the Grand Master of the "Benito Juarez" Grand
Lodge of Coahuila and the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge
of Nuevo Leon. M.W. Bro. Dillard (P.G.M.) explained that as
it is difficult for Spanish speaking brethren to understand the
beauties and work of Masonry in English, the Grand Lodge has
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 47
provided that those of Mexican descent in the state, with the
consent of the lodge where they reside, may petition a lodge in
Mexico for initiation.

Lodges, 98. Membership, 14,770. Loss, 278.
The Grand Master received a great deal of satisfaction from
the Special Communication over which he presided at Manchester
Depot. The occasion was the laying of the cornerstone and dedi-
cation of the new Masonic temple there. The building is on land
donated by M.W. Bro. Brown and his wife. Except for the
foundation it was built by the brethren of Adoniram Lodge. The
spacious lodge room is furnished with old oak furniture, bought
by the Lodge in 1898.
The Report of the Committee on the Grand Master's Address
is a much more comprehensive statement than is usually en-
countered in documents of this kind. The Committee pointed out
that in his two years of office the Grand Master had devoted
all, or part, of 228 days in exercising the duties of the office. His
travels had taken him from Quebec to Virginia. The Committee
particularly commended the continued programme of officer
seminars for lodge officers, the semi-annual meetings of District
Deputy Grand Masters and the exemplification of the esoteric
work by District Deputy Grand Masters, past and present. The
effort expended and the mileage travelled by the participants was
truly commendable and gratifying.

Sir Robert Risson
Lodges, 830. Membership, 92,942. Loss, 2,368.
Although the net loss in membership was high no fewer
than 2,419 Master Mason's Certificates were issued. M.W. Bro.
Harris, following the lead of the Grand Lodge of Western
48 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
Australia, invited new initiates every six weeks or so to meet
him and some other Grand Officers to talk for an hour ovei
coffee and biscuits on any subject or question of interest.
M.W. Bro. Risson reported that numbers rose to over 100.
He said: "This is most encouraging; it is an example of the
keen, spontaneous interest of young men — well, young in Free-
masonry — newly initiated. I say young in Freemasonry, for
some of them are no longer young in years. You will let me say,
I am sure, that I believe men should join Freemasonry when
young, for preference; but if they do not, then by all means
let them join later.
"Before I go on, there was one interesting member present
on this occasion, a new initiate. I learned, speaking to him
afterwards, that he knew something of Freemasonry. He had
been a member in the Island of Mauritius of the Grand Orient
of France, with whom our previous warm fraternal relations
are at present unfortunately severed — I hope only temporarily
severed. Here was a young man who, from his experience
previously in Freemasonry, on coming to this country was glad
to, was happy to, wanted to, join it again, so he became an
initiate, starting again from the beginning with us in Victoria.
"Encouraging I have said, but also imposing a demand on
us: for it behoves all of us to see that this encouragement is not
voided in future; that the initial enthusiasm of these new in-
itiates be not lost. This is a task which obviously must devolve
principally upon their own Lodges where they have been in-
itiated, but it also devolves on all of us who may meet them
from time to time, devolves on us to keep our image bright, to
maintain their enthusiasm, to ensure in simple terms that they
never become bored or disappointed with Freemasonry. We
can keep them interested, particularly if we keep them busy,
offer them encouragement and incentive."

During the year the Grand Lodge Officers spent much
time discussing the pros and cons of computerizing the records
of the office of the Grand Secretary. One of the problems
forcing a decision was the compilation and printing a roster
of members, for which there is a sustained demand. The
Officers unanimously agreed to go on with the project and it is
hoped that the programme would be completed by 1975.
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 49
The greatest achievement of the year, in the mind of the
Grand Master, was the transformation of the Masonic Herald.
The new format and content are pleasing. The cover offers an
opportunity for "innovative presentations and the news pages
have been made available not only to writers of stories about
Symbolic Masonry, but also to writers representing just about
every component organization within our Fraternity."
Over the years these Reviews have made few references
to Masonic trials, partly as a matter of principle and partly
because there are so very few. The Grand Master, however,
spoke on the topic and his remarks deserve wider distribution
than in Virginia alone. He said: "In 1974 Virginia Freemasonry
was burdened with an unusual number of Masonic Trials,
a circumstance that may well reflect the character of the times
in which we live. Still, in a society that proclaims the Brother-
hood of Man under the Fatherhood of God, it is not possible
to overlook transgressions of that which is lawful and proper.
The moral law of the universe is the instrument by which we
move forward, and our advance — or retreat — from the goal
of spiritual perfection, depends on our willingness to submit
to and abide both civil and fraternal norms of behaviour. . . .
"On numerous occasions throughout this past year, in the
course of remarks made in Masonic forums, I have emphasized
that anything less than equitable application of the law against
all violators will result in injustice rather than justice. I have also
stated, and I do so again, that should there be a difference
of opinion on this matter, the Grand Lodge, through its dele-
gates, has the power to entertain proposals for change. Some
changes in Section 4.00 of the Methodical Digest may well
be needed, but until they are accomplished, the law must be
applied as written."

During his official visits to lodges in Alaska, the Grand
Master got the impression that the Brethren thought that it
would be good for Masonry in Alaska if jurisdictional lines
between lodges were abolished. He therefore recommended that
a survey be made to determine the will of the majority of the
lodges regarding concurrent jurisdiction for the State.
50 GRAND LODGE OF CANADA
The Grand Master refused five applications for "Permis-
sions". The list shows something of the kind of problems
which arise in many jurisdictions.
To have any business or businesses pay for the cost of
Masonic meeting notices as a public service.
To erect a sign at the edge of town, displaying the Masonic
Emblem and other information in conjunction with other signs.
To allow a candidate to receive his Degree in other than
Washington ritual, unless by courtesy.
To allow Lodge members to visit various Youth Organiz-
ations, clothed as Masons.
To allow balloting on a petition for the degrees at other
than a Stated Communication.
In our Reviews for 1974, we wrote: "In 1961 when M.W. Bro.
W. J. Dunlop reviewed the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of
Washington, he referred most favourably to the Reviews written
by M.W. Bro. F. Winkels (P.G.M)." In 1962, and on other
occasions, the present Reviewer wrote in the same vein. Again in
1975 we referred to the more than 60 pages of reviews written
by M.W. Bro. Winkels. Now with great regret we write our
last reference. On June 14, 1974, M.W. Bro. Winkels "passed
to that Celestial Lodge above." He acted as Fraternal Corres-
pondent for nineteen years, from 1955 to 1974. He will be
sorely missed. M.W. Bro. J. W. J. Stedman (G.M. 1942-43) is
continuing the work. He included a lengthy and sympathetic
review of our Proceedings.

The Grand Master, a circuit court judge, since 1969, stated
that an attorney should not overstate his case to a jury but state
the plain facts. He followed the same guideline in his address.
Consequently he presented a straightforward and to-the-point
document. Although there had been a loss in membership, it was
the smallest decrease since 1962. Furthermore, the net loss has
been decreasing since 1970. In his view "Masonry is growing in
West Virginia and flourishing in the hearts and lives of men."
His conclusion was "Masonry is becoming more and more a
stronger force in the life of men, because of the disappointments
FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE 51
and frustrations of our society today, with its change of moral
values and the permissiveness of modern civilization. Masonry is
a way of life, depending upon morality for its continued existence.'*
He summed his views in two lines. "Masonry has a lot to offer
our present society, but I fear our present society has little to
offer Masonry that is worth a change from our time proven
values."

The Grand Master, in thanking the brethren for their
generous contributions to the charitable funds of the Grand
Lodge, asked some questions which we might ask ourselves.
"Brethren — what about that other charitable side of our
Freemasonry? How long since you or I practiced it? Have you
visited an elderly brother and given him an understanding ear;
offered him help in chores he can no longer do; or given him
a trip to some enjoyable function that he cannot easily attend?
Have you seen that your Lodge widows are in good health and
offered a helping hand that they should expect?
"There are so many brethren who limit their charity to
the donation of money. I have mentioned and feel that they
have met their obligations. The money is essential but so too
is that act of kindness — the telephone call to say 'Hello' to the
member who has not been to Lodge and to listen to his prob-
lems and assist him if humanly possible.
"Freemasons must give unstintingly of their time, their
sympathy and the help that is needed to warm this rather
troubled and confused World.
"Brethren, Freemasonry has endured not only because of
its antiquity, its influence, or its social standing, but because
there have been so many who have lived it. The effectiveness
of Masonic teachings will always be the measure by which the
outside world judges Freemasonry: the proof of Freemasonry
is in our deeds and it is in our deeds that Freemasonry is made
known to non-Masons. The only way the Craft can be judged
is by its product.
"The prestige of Freemasonry lies squarely on the shoulders
of each of us."

The Board of General Purposes was greatly disappointed that
an insufficient number of the Brethren indicated a wish to have the
Grand Lodge publish a monthly Masonic Magazine.
Because of the number of break-ins at Freemasons' Hall,
made by removing glass panels, the Board has found it necessary
to fit the doors and windows with security bars. The Board worries
over the loss of irreplaceable items from the Museum.
The Board reported that a Brother has recorded on tape or
cassette 45 sets of Masonic Music of the three degrees, at no
cost to the Grand Lodge.
The outstanding event of the year was the celebration of the
75th anniversary of the Grand Lodge. At the same time, M.W.
Bro. Murdoch installed his successor M.W. Bro. Solomon. Over
1,700 attended making this the largest gathering of Freemasons
ever assembled in Western Australia.
The newly installed Grand Master said in part: "The winds
of change are blowing very strongly around us, the demands of
daily living are very great and must cause us grave concern. The
general state of society is such that there is a very strong place
in it for Freemasonry but we must remember mat, of itself,
Freemasonry cannot be a power for good. It can only be so as
a result of the actions of those men who constitute the body of
Freemasonry."
APPENDIX "C"
ADDRESS BY M.W. BRO. ROBERT A. HTNSHAW
AT THE
GRAND MASTER'S BANQUET
Held in the Canadian Room
Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Ontario
JULY 21st, 1976
THE GRAND MASTER: I am now going to ask M.W. Bro.
B. B. Foster to introduce our guest speaker.
M.W. Bro. B. B. FOSTER: (Introduced Guest Speaker)
M. W. BRO. R. A. HINSHAW:
Now if you are more comfortable standing up, well fine,
don't make me sit you down too early. In fact I'd be perfectly
willing to listen to the musicians a great deal longer if you
would like to join me.
Bruce, thank you for that delightful introduction. I knew
who you were talking about while you were going through the
biographical part but when you got to the very end you lost
me, really.
Brethren, it's a pleasure, I assure you, to return to the Grand
Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario. This is my third
visit. Your Grand Master and your Grand Secretary have been
trying to get me to return for a couple of years but until
recently I really didn't know what lengths they would go to
get me back.
Most Worshipful Grand Master, distinguished guests and
brethren all, I bring you the greetings of the Grand Lodge of
Ohio, I bring you the greetings of all of your Grand Lodges to the
south.
As I am sure you are aware this year in the United States
we are pleased to be celebrating our Bicentennial Year and really
this is great for the United States. When it started off I wasn't
really enthusiastic about Bicentennial, but the longer it goes the
more thrilled I am with it. It has given us all a rebirth and a
reappreciation of the great country which I happen to be a
citizen of and really I think too, if you'll stop and think with me
for just a second, that with anything we might take pleasure in,
in the United States over our accomplishments of the last 200
years I think to you of the great country of Canada, all the
Provinces of Canada, we owe thanks. Where is there a longer
2 APPENDIX "C"
boundary in this world without soldiers patrolling it, with friends
on both sides for that length of time than our border. It's just
like a neighbourhood. It's pleasant to have good neighbours in
your neighbourhood, and in our country it's pleasant to have good
neighbours to our north.
I also take a good deal of pride these days, as I did last
winter, in watching the Olympics and seeing these great athletes
that are performing and doing such marvellous jobs and I get
a little lump in my throat when someone from the United States
performs as well as they have been doing recently, and I'm sure
you in your country will and have taken great pride in your
great athletes and I wish you and all of your athletes the very
best.
There is not everything in the United States that's perfect
or great, but by golly we can take a lot of pride in a lot of
things we have done. Our most recent example is the one that
is going on right now that we are pleased to share with the
whole world in this little experiment of the Viking that we have
and I think one thing that's characteristic of our Country and
your Country is the unselfishness of the things that we have done.
What your Country has done and what my Country has done we
have shared with each other and the rest of the world and isn't
that really the way it should be.
Before I get in to the few comments I'd like to make tonight
with you, I'd like to make a little poll and get a few facts, if I
might, from you. Four little things I'd like to find out and the
first thing I'd like to know is if on your travels to this Grand
Lodge, how many of you might have encountered a dinosaur?
Anybody a dinosaur? Have any of you recently had any contact
with the Mayan Civilization? Anybody? Have any of you had any
business dealings with or fraternal relations with the Roman
Empire? Lastly, let me try this one, did any of you drive here
in your new 1976 Packard automobile? You're laughing at me
and you seem to be questioning the seriousness of these questions
but actually I assure you that they really do have a bearing on
one of the points I'd like to make this evening.
Dinosaurs, as you may or may not recall, actually lived in
what we call during Mesozoic Period which stretched from about
70 million years ago to about 225 million years ago. In other
words for about 135 million years on this earth dinosaurs actually
ruled this planet we call ours. Some of them were as large as
four storey buildings and I'm confident that if you and I had
lived during this period of time we probably would have felt that
these terrible monsters called dinosaurs would rule the world
forever. They were destined, as we say, to "rule the roost".
The Mayan Civilization located in Central America was by
far the most advanced of any during the whole pre-Christian era.
APPENDIX "C" 3
They developed a brilliant culture with elaborate architecture, an
elaborate ceramic art and sculpture and their high attainment
in mathematics and astronomy is nothing short of astounding.
They developed a calendar that's actually more accurate than the
one which we use today. These are all testimonials of what is
truly a marvellous civilization that they developed back before
the days of Christ. Evidence of this civilization (which apparently
none of you have had any recent dealings with) remained hidden
in Central America until about the mid 19th Century. And yet
I dare say that if you or I had lived back in the times when
the Mayan Civilization was at its zenith we probably would
have bet our best sling shot that Mayans had everything going
for them and there was nothing to stop them.
And thirdly when Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey
to Damascus, virtually the whole world lay in bondage. There
was one state and it was called Rome. There was one master
for it all and he was called Tiberius Caesar. Everywhere there was
civil order because the arm of Rome was long. Everywhere there
was stability both in Government and Society. The Centurions
saw that it was so and one who lived under the yoke of the
Roman Empire really had good reason to feel it was invincible.
In the youth of some of us at least the Packard Motor
Company was a corporate giant. With thousands upon thousands
of cars on the highways and roads and back roads of North
America they had plants and assets almost beyond belief and
they also had a good reputation — just ask the man who owned
one. The Packard Motor Company was in brief a corporate
Giant, similar to General Motors, General Electric, I.B.M.,
Xerox and some other companies today which we probably feel
have every good reason to continue indefinitely.
Now here are four, just four, factors in mankinds back-
ground and two of them during their time were probably the
most significant and single dominant feature of their time and
yet not one of them survived. And we ask, why? The Dino-
saurs, we're told, lost their ability to adapt to the changing
environment and then they passed slowly into oblivion. The
fate of the Mayan Civilization is open to conjecture. Some
suggest it was settled and built and inhabited by travellers from
another planet who, having achieved their unknown goal, left
as they came. Others suggest that lacking plows and domestic
animals they couldn't adapt or they couldn't overcome the en-
croaching jungle and others speculate their civilization, magnifi-
cent as it was, failed to answer the needs of their citizens and
they abandoned it. Whatever the reason it ceased to be. Even
though it was one of the most beautiful and the most advanced
civilizations of all time, and really more advanced than some
areas of our world today, it did pass out of existence. The Roman
Empire had enormous power, it exerted great influence and
anticipated an extended future but the Roman Empire had
something else too. Oppression. There was persecution of men
4 APPENDIX "C"
who dared to think differently, who heard strange voices or
read strange manuscripts. There was enslavement of men whose
tribes came not from Rome. There was disdain for those who
didn't have the familiar visage and most of all there was every-
where contempt for human life. What, to the strong at that time,
was one man more or less in a crowded world and then all of a
sudden there was a light in the world and a Man from Galilee
was saying "render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and
unto God the things that are God's". And the voice from Galilee
which would defy Caesar offered a new Kingdom in which each
man could walk upright and bow to none but his God. "Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have
done it unto Me". The Roman Empire was in the end the victim
of its own ruthlessness, its own refusal to appreciate the value of
human life, its inability to change with the rise of the new
word "LOVE". The Packard Motor Company, what of it. Even
though it was one of the largest commercial empires in a Giant
Industry, staffed with competent and concerned individuals, it too
i iled to answer the needs of man in changing times and it fell
into failure, disuse, until it was absorbed and lost its identity
to be no more.
Now tonight we sit here as representatives of the oldest, the
largest and the most respected, the most influential and the
most successful fraternal organization the world has ever known.
Largest, like the dinosaur, most respected like the Mayan Civil-
ization, most influential like the Roman Empire and most
successful like the Packard Motor Company.
I ask you, and I ask myself at the same time, is Freemasonry
guaranteed a future? Will Freemasonry live forever — moving
along merely on its inertia. Freemasonry hasn't always had an
easy time of it. Freemasonry, just as your Nation and my Nation,
prospered and grew because of the care, the concern and the
dedication of the Founding Fathers of your Country and those
of my Country, with the result that today we, you and I, are
able to enjoy a Fraternity second to none. Our inheritance how-
ever was no accident, it was planned and was worked for but with
that inheritance you and I also share a responsibility. I want my
son and I want your son to be able to enjoy a life in a free world.
I want him to be able to petition a Masonic Lodge if such be
his choice. It's no accident that the words "Freemasonry" and
"Freedom" both contain the word "FREE". They go together,
they belong together, the one can't exist without the other.
Tonight there are no lodges meeting in East Berlin, in Spain,
Portugal. Russia, Red China. The rulers of these countries have
decreed that their citizens are not allowed to practice Masonic
Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth and I doubt too if the lights are
burning tonight in Siagon Lodge Number 188. A free country
such as your country and my country is the soil required to feed
the roots of Freemasonry and Freemasonry is the flower that
enhances the beauty of that Free World.
APPENDIX "C" 5
Our responsibility then, yours and mine, and all the other
Freemasons of this world, becomes quite clear. Our responsibility
is to see that Freemasonry survives the forces working against
I want to discuss with you, very briefly, three things I feel
that each Mason must do to do his part to ensure the continu-
ance of Freemasonry as we know it today. There is more to be
done. I don't mean to limit it to these three. But these three
tasks are vital, and I assert that the future of Freemasonry
is NOW.
First, we must watch the ballot box. Since Freemasonry is
the voluntary association of men holding similar beliefs and
outlooks in life it must attract its memberships; no man is forced
to join a Lodge; he petitions the Lodge because of the favour-
able opinion he has formed of Freemasonry and the members who
belong to the Lodge. I don't know a person in this room tonight
who would voluntarily join any group if he felt it was a step
downward. On the contrary, people want to move upwards and
to associate with people they respect and people they admire.
We want to join a group that will cause us to be looked up to
by our friends and associates. We want to be envied, I guess, is
one way to put it. I dare say too if I passed an application
blank among this group tonight for one of the many Mafia
families in the world, nobody would sign it. I don't think any
of us would feel that membership in a Mafia family would make
us envied by our friends or that we wanted to give our time or
our money to it. To our way of life, the Mafia is not relevant.
Therefore, I feel it is imperative that Freemasons in every Lodge,
not just most of them, but every Lodge, maintain the best image
possible; we must not be overcome with numbers so that we let
quality suffer. We can't afford to cheapen Freemasonry. We
have many concerned Masons today bemoaning a declining
membership — it's almost become a Masonic Pastime you might
say. I really don't agree with those people. I really don't want
to completely join in their concern. If, as predicted, our world's
population is going to double in the next 25 years, then I feel a
declining membership is merely a temporary discomfort — it's not
a fatal disease. It is, however, a symptom of a more serious and
possibly fatal disease. In a few years the potential petitioners
of our Lodges could be double what they are now and, if so,
then the real concern will be our ability to separate the worthy
petitioner from those who are not worthy to be a Mason but
the future of Freemasonry is NOW. We need to watch the
ballot box NOW.
A Lodge composed of 50 respected leaders of the community
is far superior to one 10 times that number with a membership
tainted with embezzlers, tax cheats, racketeers, drunks and
corner cutters etc.
6 APPENDIX "C"
Secondly, I think those who are permitted to be Masons
must be committed to Masonry. We must be willing to sacrifice
our time, our energy, our money, our talent and whatever is
required to sustain and advance Freemasonry. A lukewarm
Mason, a wishy-washy Charlie Brown type Mason, as we say
from comic strips down south, or a fair weather Mason, are not
the type that brought Freemasonry to the forefront in the Prov-
ince of Ontario or in any other part of the world. And they are
not the type of Freemasons that are going to keep Freemasonry's
banner high in the future. We have today more members than we
can successfully transform into dedicated practicing Masons
and this I feel is the real disease, a possibly fatal disease, and
it is a condition we can't let go unsolved. It could well be our
greatest deficiency. So many of our Lodges are so busy raising
candidates that they can't take the time to tenderly fashion them
into Masons, a process which takes time, understanding, patience
and love. There is no such thing as an instant Mason. It's not like
instant tea and instant everything else. In our hustle bustle world
we tend to overlook one important fact and we assume that on the
night of the candidate's raising that we have made a Mason. We
have not. We have only begun to make a Mason. As Geoffrey
Chaucer, the father of English poetry, wrote in the late 1330's
"The life so short, the craft so long to learn". It follows that if
we fail to employ and instruct our new Brethren in Freemasonry
we will pay a regrettable price for our neglect.
Tonight, I am honest when I say I'm privileged to share in
this room the fellowship of a whole room full of dedicated
Masons. Each one, I feel, has made many personal sacrifices
for this Fraternity.
Finally, of equal importance, Freemasonry needs the adapt-
able change, I emphasize not change for the mere sake of change
and not change that destroys the basic foundation stones of our
fraternity, but we need to be able and we need to be willing
to make necessary changes in order to remain relevant. Some
will ask, why change anything — what was good enough 50
years ago is good enough today.
What was good enough today is going to be good enough
50 years from now and I raise the question, good enough like
the dinosaur, and good enough like the Roman Empire, and
good enough like the Mayan Civilization, and without change will
it be good enough like the Packard Motor Car. We live in a
world of accelerating change whether we want to admit it or not.
Our world has undergone more change in the last 50 years than
in all the ages that preceded us. Ninety per cent of the scientists
that ever lived on the face of this earth are alive today. More
new knowledge and technologies have come forth in our life-
time than in all the previous recorded history of our world. My
great-grandmother, if she were alive today, would be more in
tune with the life and times of Christ than with our present
APPENDIX "C" 7
civilization. The next 50 to 100 years of changes are going to be
nothing short of phenomenal. We need to make the types of
changes that the dinosaur failed to make, we need to make the
types of changes that the Mayan Civilization perhaps didn't make,
we need to make the types of changes the Roman Empire failed
to perceive and make the types of changes the Packard didn't
make. Freemasonry must remain relevant and at the same time it
must retain its basic values.
We have not done too badly across our history as a Frater-
nity. After all, we can enumerate a lot of other Fraternal organ-
izations that have been born, that flourish briefly and then have
passed into oblivion or are in the process of doing so. But my
concern and I hope your concern is that we do not fail to apply
the necessary dedication, self sacrifice and determination that is
required to ensure the future of Freemasonry.
What I have said tonight I think I can boil down into one
word. APATHY. Apathy is contrasted to concern and dedication,
apathy is one of the fiercest enemies of the Free World and of
our Fraternity. We can draw a parallel, apathy at the Ballot
Box has lost the freedom of many a country. Apathy at the
Lodge Ballot Box can lose the respect of a Lodge. Commitment
to a country or failure to commit ones life for ones belief to a
country, patriotism if you will, can spell the doom of a
country. With lack of commitment to a Lodge the Lodge will
slowly sink into oblivion. And a country that refuses to change,
that retains the ways of agriculture or the ways of life what-
ever it be of 100 years ago is soon going to be passed by in the
parade of time and cease to be relevant. Stagnation in a Lodge
is the same but as was said today at your Grand Lodge Meeting,
these words are really not meant for you for just as at Church
or as at a Lodge meeting, the ones who should hear words such
as these, whether I speak them or someone else speaks them, are
those who are occupying the empty seats. Nevertheless, the future
of Freemasonry is NOW.
And I'd like to leave you with one little three verse poem
which I used to a great extent the year I was Grand Master. I
still believe in it fervently and I pass it on to you for your
thoughts and your consideration.
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you'd like to win but think you can't
It's almost certain you won't
If you think you'll lose, you've lost
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind
8 APPENDIX "C"
Life's battles don't always go on to the stronger
or faster man
But sooner or later the man who wins is the
man who thinks he can.
My very best to each and every one of you. To the Grand
Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario as you approach
your 125th Anniversary, all of your friends to the South wish you
God Speed.
Thank you.
APPRECIATION TO GUEST SPEAKER BY R.W. BRO.
R. E. DAVIES, DEPUTY GRAND MASTER.
MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER, DISTINGUISH-
ED GUESTS AND BRETHREN:
A very delightful opportunity has been afforded me this
evening, an opportunity which, I must admit, I approach with
great humility and a certain amount of trepidation for tonight I
am to express your thanks to an outstanding Mason. Our Grand
Master suggested this morning that our guest would uphold and
maintain the tradition long associated with this Grand Master's
Banquet, a tradition of excellence. He has done that. His address
might best be described in two words, "PAR EXCELLENCE".
Most Worshipful Brother Hinshaw, tonight, you have com-
bined the knowledge of the physicist, the deep intellectual thought
of the educator with the practical approach of the business man
and you have brought to us a message that has been most
interesting, highly informative and beyond a shadow of a doubt
extremely challenging. We are indebted to you. The rapt attention,
together with the generous applause of the brethren must
indicate to you their appreciation and I can merely echo
those sentiments when I express to you on their behalf a very
sincere thank you.
